If the parties agree, the order will be the largest in the airline’s history.
In May, Turkish Airlines chairman Ahmet Bolat said the company was planning to order a total of 600 new aircraft and they would be delivered within 10 years.
Turkish Airlines officials also held talks with Rolls Royce for engine maintenance services and spare engines for the A350 aircraft, Anadolu said.
