The Turkish-German joint venture airline SunExpress has taken delivery of two more new Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, registered TC-SLA and TC-SLB, in line with its fleet expansion targets. The aircraft were successfully delivered via Boeing’s Seattle Delivery Center (Boeing Seattle Delivery Center – NBF/BFI) and ferried to Antalya Airport.
New-Generation Narrow-Body Fleet Continues to Grow
With the latest deliveries, SunExpress has increased the number of new-generation aircraft in its narrow-body fleet while also strengthening its operational efficiency. The Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft offer advantages such as:
- Lower fuel consumption,
- Longer range,
- Lower carbon emissions,
making them a key element of the company’s sustainable growth strategy.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Performance in Focus
With the addition of the new aircraft, SunExpress aims both to optimise its operational costs and to enhance its environmental performance. Thanks to modern engine technologies and aerodynamic designs, the Boeing 737-8 MAX provides significant savings compared to previous-generation aircraft.
Order for 132 Boeing Aircraft
As part of SunExpress’s long-term growth plans, the airline has a total order for 132 Boeing aircraft. Of these, 87 are firm orders, and further deliveries are expected to continue in the coming period.
