Boeing Stock Rises 2.1% as Turkish Airlines Finalizes Order for Up to 150 737 MAX Jets
Boeing shares rose 2.1% to $201.82 after the company and Turkish Airlines finalized an order for up to 150 737 MAX aircraft, marking the carrier’s largest Boeing single-aisle order.
Turkish Airlines purchased 100 737-8 jets and secured options for 50 additional 737 MAX aircraft. The agreement also includes substitution rights for the larger 737-10 variant, giving the airline flexibility as it expands its short- and medium-haul network.
The deal builds on Turkish Airlines’ 2025 order for up to 75 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and supports the carrier’s broader fleet and network expansion strategy. Boeing said the 737 MAX family can reduce fuel use and emissions by about 20% compared with the aircraft it replaces.
The order also carries strategic value for Boeing by strengthening its relationship with a major global airline and adding to commercial aircraft demand. Turkish Airlines, including AJet, already operates more than 200 Boeing aircraft across several models.
The 2.1% stock gain suggests investors viewed the finalized order as supportive of Boeing’s commercial backlog and longer-term production outlook.
