Speaking to the Financial Times, Turkish Airlines' chairman, Murat Şeker, confirmed the discussions, though talks have paused.\n\nSlower deliveries, tactical fleet planning.\n\nTurkish Airlines is not the only interested buyer, with other carriers and lessors also reported to be eyeing the same assets. Spirit Airlines ceased operations on May 2, 2026, following its bankruptcy, leaving a pool of narrowbody aircraft available on the leasing market. Prior to its final collapse, the airline had already sought court approval in February 2026 to sell 20 aircraft for an estimated $533 million as part of efforts to reduce debt and wind down operations.\n\nThe interest in used aircraft comes as Turkish Airlines looks to expand its network despite a slower pace of new aircraft deliveries from manufacturers, largely driven by supply chain constraints globally.\n\nAccording to ch-aviation data, Turkish Airlines currently operates a total of 482 aircraft, which includes 18 A320-200s, 23 A320-200Ns and 68 A321-200s, the same types that Spirit Airlines flew. On the widebody side, the airline expects to receive around 36 aircraft over the next four years, Şeker said.\n\nRoute...",
