Airbus wins Turkish Airlines order for 7 jets

PARIS - PARIS (AP) — Turkish Airlines has firmed up a preliminary order for seven Airbus 289-seat A330-300s, worth a total of €1.4 billion ($1.97 billion) at catalog prices.

Airbus said Tuesday that Turkish Airlines has signed a contract to expand its medium-haul network after announcing its intention to buy the planes at the Paris Air Show in June.

Airlines often negotiate substantial discounts to the listed prices of planes, and the financial details of this order were not disclosed.

Last month, Turkish Airlines finalized an order for seven extended range Boeing 777-300s worth $1.9 billion at list prices.
