AerCap and Turkish Airlines agree on lease for ten A321neos

AerCap Holdings has reached an agreement with Turkish Airlines for the lease of ten new Airbus A321neo aircraft.

Commenting on the agreement, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat, expressed satisfaction with the fleet enhancement through the partnership with AerCap. He highlighted that this addition aligns with Turkish Airlines' strategy to offer passengers a modern and efficient travel experience while supporting ongoing expansion plans for new routes and increasing the frequency of existing ones. He also looked forward to strengthening the partnership with AerCap.

“We are very pleased to support Turkish Airlines with the lease of these ten new A321neo aircraft, helping them to continue to grow their extensive route network while modernising their narrow-body fleet for greater operational efficiency,” said Aengus Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of AerCap.

Established in 1933 with a fleet of five aircraft, Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines has a fleet of 457 (passenger and cargo) aircraft flying to 346 worldwide destinations, including 293 international and 53 domestics, in 130 countries.
