<p>ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish Airlines, Turkey's national carrier, has announced plans to add 225 Boeing aircraft to its fleet.</p>

<p>In an a declaration to the Istanbul Stock Exchange on Friday, the airline said it has decided to purchase 75 Boeing B787-9 and B787-10 aircraft and has completed negotiations with Boeing to acquire 150 737-8/10MAX models.</p>

<p>The announcement was made a day after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.</p>

<p>Turkish Airlines will place 50 confirmed and 25 optional orders for the B787-9 and B787-10 aircraft, scheduled for delivery between 2029 and 2034. The B787-9 and B787-10 are advanced, fuel-efficient long-haul aircraft designed for international travel, the airline said in a statement.</p>

<p>The company is in negotiations with Rolls-Royce and GE Aerospace for the procurement of engines, spare parts and maintenance services for the aircraft, the statement said.</p>

<p>Separately, Turkish Airlines said it has finalized negotiations with Boeing for 150 737-8/10MAX aircraft, with 100 confirmed and 50 optional, and will proceed with the order once talks with engine supplier CFM International are successfully concluded.</p>

<p>Turkish Airlines operates one of the world's largest flight networks.</p>

<p>On Thursday, President Donald Trump signaled the U.S. may soon lift its hold on the sale of advanced fighter jets to Turkey, a NATO ally. During Trump's first term, the U.S. removed Turkey from its flagship F-35 fighter jet program in 2019 following Ankara's purchase of a Russian-made air defense system.</p>
