Turkish Airlines' Jet Order Signals Rapid Expansion


(WSJ) Turkish Airlines on Monday announced its second big widebody aircraft order of the month, with plans to buy 15 additional Boeing Co. B777-300ER jets to help boost its network to 250 destinations by 2015.

Traffic at Turkish Airlines, which currently serves 202 cities, soared 27% in the first nine months of the year to cement its position as the fastest-growing flag carrier in the world, eclipsing expansion by its three large Persian Gulf-based rivals.
 
The number of passengers transferring through its Istanbul hub climbed 31% in the first six months of the year from the same period in 2011 as it takes advantage of its geographical position to funnel traffic from Europe, the Americas and Asia through the Middle East and Africa.
