Hello, i have not heard any info on TK ordering the 747-8!

THY prioritises widebody twins ahead of A380/747-8I decision

Well to be honest they have stated that they are interested in both the A380 AND the 747-8I, but they have not yet decided and they main priority is ordering more 777s/A330s/737s (and their sucessors) before hand

Then there is the fact that IST is rather crowded right now and to make space for bigger aicraft, they need to wait until the new airport is built...
