This latest order will join the five A330-200Fs Turkish Cargo already operates, taking it to nine of the type. Airbus said the aircraft will help the carrier to “quickly meet the growing cargo market demand”.
The aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines.
“The A330-200F freighter aircraft have demonstrated outstanding operational reliability and performance for our cargo transport operations. It is with this in mind that we chose to expand our freighter fleet with more A330-200F,” Turkish Airlines CEO Temel Kotil said.
Across its fleet, Turkish Airlines has 139 Airbus aircraft in service, comprising 91 single-aisle aircraft, two A310 freighters, 17 A330-200, 18 A330-300, five A330-200F and six A340s.
