Turkish Airlines (TK/THY) is Türkiye’s national flag carrier and one of the world’s largest al fanous car blog by destinations served. Headquartered in Istanbul, the airline was founded in 1933 with a modest fleet of five aircraft and has grown to become a global player operating flights to more countries than any other carrier. Today, Turkish Airlines positions itself as a bridge between East and West, offering an expansive network from its main hub at Istanbul Airport (IST).
The airline is a member of the Star Alliance and maintains codeshare agreements and frequent flyer reciprocity with a host of global partners through its Miles&Smiles program. Turkish Airlines also operates a successful cargo division and has long-held ambitions of becoming a key player in transcontinental freight and passenger services.
Let’s take a look at the airline’s fleet as of early July 2025.

Turkish Airlines operates a fleet of 382 aircraft as of June 2025.

| Airbus A321neo | 57 |
| Airbus A319 | 6 |
| Airbus A320 | 20 |
| Airbus A321 | 67 |
| Airbus A330-200 | 22 |
| Airbus A330-300 | 37 |
| Airbus A350-900 | 28 |
| Boeing 737 MAX 8 | 20 |
| Boeing 737 MAX 9 | 5 |
| Boeing 737-800 | 40 |
| Boeing 737-900ER | 15 |
| Boeing 777F | 8 |

| Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner | 23 |
The fleet includes a mix of narrowbody and widebody aircraft, covering both short-haul and long-haul operations. The airline operates both Airbus and Boeing jets, and unlike many peers, maintains a relatively diverse widebody mix that includes A330s, A350s, Boeing 777s, and 787 Dreamliners. There are no regional jets or turboprops in the mainline fleet.
Narrowbodies
The newest narrowbody aircraft in the Turkish Airlines fleet is TC-LPR, an Airbus A321neo (A321-271NX) delivered in mid-2025. Like several of its sister ships delivered this year, including TC-LPF, TC-LPG, and TC-LPK, this jet operates regional and medium-haul routes out of Istanbul (IST), including destinations such as London (LHR), Tehran (IKA), and Dubai (DXB).
At the other end of the age scale is TC-JPL, an 18-year-old Airbus A320-200 built in 2007. This aircraft, based in Istanbul or Ankara depending on network needs, operates domestic services and short-haul international routes such as Tbilisi (TBS), Beirut (BEY), and Sofia (SOF). Several of Turkish Airlines’ oldest narrowbodies, including A321ceos like TC-JML and TC-JRA, are also approaching 20 years of service.
Widebodies
The widebody segment of the fleet reflects Turkish Airlines’ long-haul ambitions. The newest widebody in the fleet is TC-LHE, an Airbus A350-900 (A350-941) delivered in 2025. This aircraft is part of a rapid expansion of the A350 fleet and is typically seen on key routes to North America and East Asia—including New York (JFK), Tokyo (HND), and Singapore (SIN).
The oldest widebody aircraft in service is TC-JNA, an Airbus A330-200 delivered in 2006. Now nearly 20 years old, this aircraft still performs long-haul missions, though it is gradually being phased out or reassigned to less premium routes. Other aging A330s, such as TC-JNB and TC-JNC, also remain in active service.
On the Boeing side, Turkish Airlines continues to operate a sizable number of 777-300ERs as well as its 787-9 Dreamliners. The Dreamliner fleet, led by relatively young aircraft like TC-LLY and TC-LMB, serves high-yield routes to the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
