Turkish Airlines has signed new lease contracts for twenty narrowbody aircraft and one widebody from Dublin-based lessors CDB Aviation and Jackson Square Aviation, and Dubai Aerospace Enterprise Capital (who also have an office in Dubin), with deliveries due by the first quarter of 2026.
The carrier said that it would lease six narrowbodies from CDB Aviation with deliveries due between the first quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, four from Jackson Square Aviation to be delivered in the first quarter of 2025, and ten from DAE Capital to be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. All narrowbodies will be leased for 12 years.
The single widebody aircraft from CDB Aviation will be delivered in the second quarter of 2024 and will be leased for six years.
The airline has yet to place the anticipated order for 600 narrow- and widebody aircraft which would be the world’s largest.
In the meantime, it is signing incremental smaller contracts with lessors.
