Turkmenistan Airlines takes delivery of 1st B777-300ER

On 4 December 2023, Turkmenistan Airlines welcomed its first Boeing B777-300ER. The former Cathay aircraft is registered EZ-A781 (37898) and was ferried to Ashgabat via Turkmenbashi from Lake Charles (LA). A second one, EZ-A782 (39235), is still being readied at Lake Charles (LA) and will be handed-over soon.

The acquisition of the duo was announced back in September 2023, along with an order for four B737-8s. The B777-300ERs are outfitted with 40 Business Class-, 32 Premium Economy-, and 296 Economy-seats. At this stage it's unclear on which routes they will be deployed.
