Turkish Airlines orders over 100 GEnx engines to power 787 fleet expansion

Turkish Airlines has signed a landmark agreement with GE Aerospace to acquire more than 100 GEnx engines to power its recent order of 50 Boeing 787 aircraft, with options for an additional 25 planes. The deal also includes spare engines and a comprehensive 15-year TrueChoice services agreement, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to reliability, efficiency and long-term fleet sustainability.

This agreement marks a major milestone in the enduring partnership between Turkish Airlines and GE Aerospace, supporting the carrier’s ambitious global expansion strategy and strengthening its position as one of the world’s leading network airlines. As Turkey’s flag carrier, Turkish Airlines operates a young and rapidly growing fleet of 504 aircraft, serving 355 destinations across 131 countries.

The inclusion of GE’s advanced GEnx engines reflects the airline’s drive to enhance performance, reduce fuel burn and minimise environmental impact. Developed with cutting-edge materials and state-of-the-art design, the GEnx represents one of the most efficient and innovative propulsion systems in modern aviation. Since its introduction in 2011, the GEnx engine family has logged over 69 million flight hours and remains GE Aerospace’s fastest-selling, high-thrust engine, with more than 3,900 units currently in operation or on order.

Built for both performance and sustainability, the GEnx is fully compatible with approved sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blends, helping operators transition towards lower-carbon flight. The agreement also secures long-term maintenance and operational support under GE’s TrueChoice services programme, ensuring the highest levels of engine reliability and lifecycle value.

By selecting the GEnx to power its expanding Dreamliner fleet, Turkish Airlines is deepening its partnership with GE Aerospace. It is also reinforcing its strategic commitment to innovation, sustainability, and global growth in the next generation of air travel.
