Turkish Airlines has signed leasing agreements for two converted Boeing 777-300ERSF cargo aircraft.

Lessor AerCap announced on October 29 that the aircraft are scheduled for delivery between March and September 2027. The conversion from passenger to cargo aircraft will be carried out by Etihad Engineering in Abu Dhabi.

The Boeing 777-300ERSF is a wide-body cargo aircraft that provides additional capacity on international trunk routes. Conversion programs utilize existing passenger aircraft and can be an alternative to purchasing new-build freighters.

The specific routes that Turkish Airlines intends to operate with these aircraft have not yet been definitively stated in the available announcement. It would therefore be premature to commit to specific new flight frequencies or departure points.

The decision demonstrates how air cargo operators are preparing their fleet capacity for the coming years.

Air freight forwarders should monitor fleet expansion, but cannot yet derive new bookable capacities or freight rates for 2027 from this.
