Eurasian Giant: The Fleet Of Turkish Airlines 

silver pattern in the middle is a tulip, arguably the unofficial national flower of Turkey. Netherlands is famous for its tulip fields but the first tulip buds were brought from Turkey.

How many premium economy seats you expect to out upstairs? It’s not the biggest area up there.

@@cameltoeharris6569 with Lufthansa having about 30 business class seats in the hump of their 747-8, I'd imagine you could put the same amount of PE seats. Virgin Atlantic had a mix of PE and economy in the hump of their 747s

This channel uploads longs video but it will take a while

Never going to happen. The 787 will be the replacement , they already operate it anyways . It's a no brainer

Turkish is too big and uses cheap labor too much to be standardized. 787 and 350 fleets were purchased for specific destinations and they only fly there. Airbus narrowbodies are jack of all trades, while 737s are the breadwinners for both domestic routes and African ports with inferior infrastructure. Cargo is becoming more and more profitable, but managing and planning small quantities are simply not profitable for this magnitude of operation. So, they opt for big cargo. Even 777F series haul full to the brim.

They have diverse fleet in order to be able to get best prices from Airbus and Boeing. They have a very strong maintenance division, so diversity is not a technical issue for them. Also being a 6th freedom airline, there are strategic reasons to share orders between European and US manufacturers.

And what is the difference between turkish airlines and its subsidiary, anadolujet?

TK domestic fleet is A319, A320 and some special domestic configured A321. Anadolujet no longer exists, now its its own separate Airlines named “AJet”

I'm pretty sure I see a union jack on the tail. Livery also matches the RAF's vip flights. 146s were retired from service a month ago. pretty sure it's a UK government VIP aircraft. Check out BAe 146 CC2.

@@TheKurtkapan34 Interesting to see that in Turkey...Thanks

It is the right way. If an airline only has 2 types and there is a problem, they risk to cease operations. Thats what happened to Go First. Turkish knows that diversity is key. And that’s also better for aviation enthusiasts to have many types.

what is that supposed to mean?

Why thou? The 787 offers better economics than the a350 more especially on narrower long haul routes and is more flexible and versatile. Why should they give all that up just because they are European? Delta , American and united operate a huge n.o of Airbus jets so I don't get the fuss. lol

Second

Dont.

They don't.

Turkish Airlines usually wait to order a new aircraft type. They prefer to take other airlines' feedback first. This was the case for their 787 and A350 orders.

They really wanted operate more cities in India applied many times for new slots however Indian aviation authority don’t allowed to Turkish airlines neither increase frequencies between Mumbai and Delhi or add new cities

Kindly reapply again asap because before air India was owed by government now air India is owned by tata and sons .

@@ArasKC That's the same case for Emirates want to serve Berlin but because the bilateral agreement between Germany and UAE that allowed for Emirates to serve 4 destinations has been maxed out, Emirates can't fly to Berlin and Stuttgart as well.

Nowadays, turkish airlines is very safe. They had a rough past, but now they are extremely safe. I’ve never had a problem with them. Business class wise, their products on the A350 and 787 is good, and so is on the A321neo and A321. However, the hard product on the 777 and A330 has to improve there.

Lets not get ahead off ourselves

What planes have bad quality? airbus has bad quality too

Just look what happend with Qatar Airways A350-1000 paint issue surface degradation

You have to bring the so-called genocide into everything, don't you?
