Turkish Airlines’ plan to order more than 200 Boeing Co. jets is being held up by differences with engine supplier General Electric Co. over maintenance costs.
The carrier is pressing GE to lower its demands on maintenance, Chairman Ahmet Bolat said Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg TV at the Farnborough International Airshow outside of London. “Once they move, we will sign the deal,” Bolat said.
