Concurrently, Turkish Airlines is in advanced talks with Boeing for the purchase of approximately 250 jetliners, following a recent deal with Airbus. Airbus is also negotiating a major sale of over 100 A330neo aircraft to China, with discussions gaining momentum after President Xi Jinping's visit to France. Meanwhile, Boeing is facing significant scrutiny over its quality issues. The International Air Transport Association's head, Willie Walsh, emphasized the need for Boeing's new CEO to learn from past crises. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby and Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson expressed confidence that Boeing's leadership is focused on addressing these quality concerns. Additionally, a U.S. senator has called for transparency and accountability in Boeing's quality turnaround efforts.
