Turkish Airlines chief still sees gains from new deliveries despite slower capacity growth

Turkish Airlines and AJet are scheduled to add twenty net aircraft this year, representing a significant expansion of their fleet size. Chairman Murat Seker prioritizes the benefits derived from these timely aircraft deliveries, specifically highlighting fuel efficiency and planning certainty. Despite current slower capacity growth driven by high fuel costs and market disruption, Seker remains optimistic about the positive impact of the new additions. The Star Alliance carrier is focusing on maximizing value from its expanded fleet rather than aggressively increasing overall capacity at present. This strategic approach reflects a commitment to operational improvements and cost management within the challenging aviation environment.
