Posted on 4/15/2022 by admin

We photographed TC-LJH, a Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-300ER, while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on October 22, 2017. This was less than a year and a half after the aircraft was delivered to Turkish Airlines and eight months after a bomb threat incident just before taking off from Istanbul, Turkey to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. More on that below.

Sep 23, 2020 Turkish Airlines’ Boeing 777 features two Business Class cabins located in the plane’s front section. The front cabin contains the bulk of the Business Class seats (28 in total, spread over 4 rows), while the rear cabin has only 21 seats, spread over 3 rows. The exceptional range, fuel efficiency and impeccable comfort Boeing 777-300ER possesses all you need for a privileged travel above the clouds. Including an in-flight entertainment system, wide seat ranges and improved cabin pressure systems, every feature fitted to our aircraft guarantees passenger satisfaction.

TC-LJH

TC-LJH took its first flight on May 7, 2016 and was delivered to THY Turkish Airlines on May 31, 2016. The Boeing 777-3F2ER is configured for a maximum total of 349 passengers with 49 seats in business class and 300 seats in economy class. This is one of 33 Boeing 777-300ER models flying for Turkish Airlines and the largest airliner in the fleet.

On February 18, 2017, TC-LJH was to fly from Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport to Toronto Pearson International Airport as Flight TK17. As the flight was being pushed back from the gate, flight staff found a note in one of the washrooms stating, “I am coming to you with Toronto bomb.” Other sources say that “Bomb to Toronto” was written on the bathroom wall. Regardless, the aircraft returned to the terminal and all 292 passengers were evacuated and searched. The passengers then boarded an alternate plane and continued on to Toronto.
