Turkish Airlines parks 30 planes as demand decreases

Turkish Airlines has put 30 planes in its fleet into parking positions due to a decreasing number of passengers amid economic contractions and recent terror attacks. Some 12 rented Airbus A330-200 model planes were transferred to the southern resort province of Antalya and parked in front of the second international terminal. Another four Airbus A320 planes, meanwhile, were parked outside the general aviation hangars at Ankara’s Esenboğa Airport. The number of withdrawn planes will gradually reach 30 in the coming days. The carrier currently has 298 passenger planes in its fleet. In addition, Turkish Airlines also canceled flights to a total of 22 destinations, 17 of which were international, due to decreasing demand.<br/>
