The impasse centered on demands for an industrial agreement regarding engine maintenance, a sticking point that threatened to unravel the broader commitment. This transaction originated from a 225-aircraft package discussed during a high-level meeting between Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Donald Trump last year. While the order for 150 jets represents the core of the current negotiations, the complexities of servicing the CFM engines—produced by a joint venture of GE Aerospace and Safran—required extensive recalibration. Representatives for Boeing, Turkish Airlines, and the engine manufacturers have remained silent on the specifics of the breakthrough, leaving the market to watch for a formal announcement in the coming days.

Insiders suggest Boeing and Turkish Airlines could finalize the order for 150 737 MAX jets as early as next week, effectively salvaging a contract previously teetering on the brink of total collapse.
