A Turkish Airlines Airbus A340
A Turkish Airlines Airbus A340

Source: Kozlu, 2007, p. 94–104: "Bu ve benzeri hatlar için [Turgut] Özal'ın gönlünde Boeing 747'nin yattığı biliniyordu. [...] Halbuki, yaptığım her inceleme Boeing 747 alımının vahim bir hata olacağı, THY'nin üzerine taşıyamayacağı bir yük bindireceği sonucuna gelip dayanıyordu. [...] Airbus A340, teknik özellikleri, uçuş performansı, teslim tarihleri ve maaliyet avantajı nedeiyle oybirliğiyle MD-11'e tercih edilmişti."
Translation: "It was known that Boeing 747 was in the heart of [Turgut] Özal for this and similar routes. [...] However, every review I made came to the conclusion that the Boeing 747 purchase would be a grave mistake and would put a burden on THY that it could not carry. [...] The Airbus A340 was unanimously preferred over the MD-11 due to its technical features, flight performance, delivery dates and cost advantage."

  • New enough in mainspace (moved July 14) and long enough. Hook fact checks out (AGF on offline Turkish-language source using translation provided) and is quite interesting. The image is suitable for Main Page use. No textual issues. Everything is either cited or introduces a heavily cited table. Light copyediting of hook.

@Sammi Brie and Styyx: The current hook is above 200 characters. Maybe we can shorten it up a bit?
ALT0a ... that when expanding the airline's fleet in 1989, the directors of Turkish Airlines didn't fulfill the request of Turkey's president to buy the Boeing 747 and ordered the Airbus A340 (pictured) instead?

I think it's good. ~StyyxTalk? 00:16, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This has my stamp of approval too. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 00:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Prose

Lede

[edit]
It's actually, not really specified in the four sources I checked (Albayrak 1983, Ayas 1990, Yurtoğlu 2016, Şekerli 2021). Only "planes from the US that were used in WWII". So yes, presumably Government (Air Force), but it's weird that none of the sources say that. I did add "used in the Second World War" to the lead.
I'll work on it to add a paragraph about the naming and livery as well.
Added.

General

[edit]
Done.
Yeah, I need a bit of help with MOS:DTAB. I figured colscope out, but rowscope is another story. I had it at some point, but was told it was wrong so I removed it.
I changed some captions. If you have an issue with a specific one let me know. Alt text coming later.

I have changed the short description as it was inaccurate. Please check and improve if necessary. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 05:54, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of aircraft previously operated by AnadoluJet

[edit]

AnadoluJet, now known as AJet, has begun flights under its own trademark and AOC, thus Turkish Airlines no longer operates their aircraft. I have tried to remove these respective aircraft manually myself, but I can't seem to prevent it from breaking the page. If necessary and possible, please help remove the AJet fleet from this page.
