Turkish Airlines has inked an agreement with Jet Airways to take three Boeing 777 aircraft from the Indian carrier on lease, a source close to the development said.

"Turkish Airlines has signed a lease agreement with Jet Airways to take on lease three Boeing 777 (wide-bodied) aircraft. The deal was signed last week," the source said.

Turkish Airlines is the national airline of Turkey and has already taken four Boeing 777 aircraft on lease from Jet Airways.
