Boeing has secured a notable order from Pegasus Airlines, reflecting increased market confidence in the company. The Turkish low-cost carrier has committed to purchasing up to 200 737 MAX airplanes, consisting of a firm order for 100 737-10 jets with options for an additional 100. This significant deal, valued at approximately $5.65 billion, will enhance Pegasus's fleet efficiency and is projected to support its expansion across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.

The 737-10, designed to accommodate up to 230 passengers and capable of flying 5,740 km, is anticipated to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by 20%. However, the aircraft's certification has been delayed by the FAA until mid-2025 due to necessary redesigns and heightened scrutiny.

This order comes at a critical time for Boeing, which has recently faced several challenges including production slowdowns and quality control issues. Despite a backdrop of competition from Airbus and earlier setbacks, this order from Pegasus adds to Boeing’s growing number of 737 MAX orders, now totaling over 1,200 jets. Analysts view this deal as indicative of a potential turnaround for Boeing, as it aims to regain market share and build upon renewed industry confidence.

Boeing forecasts a demand for nearly 7,900 single-aisle plane deliveries in Europe and Central Asia over the next two decades, further underscoring the positive outlook for Boeing’s products in the aviation market. The confidence expressed by Pegasus Airlines in Boeing’s aircraft not only emphasizes the airline’s commitment to modernizing its fleet but also highlights the ongoing potential for growth within the aerospace sector in Turkey.
