SunExpress chief eyes flexibility on growth from strong orderbook

SunExpress, a Lufthansa-Turkish Airlines joint venture carrier, currently holds over sixty Boeing Max aircraft on firm orders. New CEO Marcus Schnabel believes this substantial orderbook presents an opportunity for flexible growth strategies. He intends to leverage the existing commitments to guarantee “sustainable growth” within the airline’s operations. The carrier has placed a follow-on order for additional Boeing Max jets as part of its expansion plans. This approach allows SunExpress to adapt to evolving market conditions and maintain a robust fleet size.
