These additional aircraft will help the carrier meet growing demand for freight services, driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce and the need for efficient and reliable transportation across the globe.
The Boeing 777 Freighter has a maximum payload capacity of 102 metric tons (112 tons) and a range of 9,200 kilometers (4,970 nautical miles).
With more than 265 deliveries, the 777 Freighter is Boeing’s best-selling freighter airplane of all time.
In addition to freighters, Turkish Airlines operates a fleet of Boeing aircraft including the 777-300ER, 737-NG, 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner.
