Turkish Airlines has finalized a deal to acquire up to 150 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, in an agreement overseen by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The deal is described as part of the airline's long-term growth strategy, as Turkish Airlines continues efforts to expand its fleet and route network in the years ahead.

Boeing's 737 MAX family has become a central part of many airlines' narrow-body fleet expansion plans in recent years, following the aircraft's return to service after a period of intense regulatory scrutiny earlier in its history.

Turkish Airlines has positioned itself as one of the world's most extensive international carriers by destination count, and additional aircraft would support further growth of its short- and medium-haul operations.

Further details on delivery timelines and the full financial terms of the agreement were not immediately disclosed.
