It could be argued that the Dubai Airshow for Airbus was somewhat hindered due to the mega blockbuster Turkish Airlines order not being announced in DWC.
Airbus executives were in Istanbul last weekend negotiating with the carrier, before coming to an agreement in principle. This order was broken down into:
75 Airbus A350-900
15 Airbus A350-1000
5 Airbus freighter A350F
250 Airbus A321 NEO
Option for 10 additional Airbus A350-900s.
It is understood that the order still needs approval by the Board of Directors at Turkish Airlines before a public announcement can be made by Airbus, which will be away from the Dubai Airshow.
