Turkish Airlines (TK, Istanbul Airport) has signed new lease contracts for twenty narrowbody aircraft and one widebody from CDB Aviation, Jackson Square Aviation, and DAE Capital, with deliveries due by the first quarter of 2026.

The carrier said that it would lease six narrowbodies from CDB Aviation with deliveries due between the first quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, four from Jackson Square Aviation to be delivered in the first quarter of 2025, and ten from DAE Capital to be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. All narrowbodies will be leased for 12 years.

The single widebody aircraft from CDB Aviation will be delivered in the second quarter of 2024 and will be leased for six years.

Turkish Airlines did not disclose the types of the aircraft and did not respond to ch-aviation's request for comment.

The airline has yet to place the long-touted order for as many as 600 narrow- and widebody aircraft. In the meantime, it is signing incremental smaller contracts with lessors.
