A cooling system for a turbine airfoil of a turbine engine having at least one diffusion film cooling hole positioned in an outer wall defining the turbine airfoil is disclosed. The diffusion film cooling hole includes a first section extending from an inner surface of the outer wall into the outer wall, a second section extending the first section toward an outer wall, and a third section extending from the second section and terminating at an outer surface of the outer wall. The diffusion film cooling hole may provide a metering capability together with diffusion sections that provide a larger film cooling hole breakout and footprint, which create better film coverage and yield better cooling of the turbine airfoil. The diffusion film cooling hole may provide a smooth transition, which allows the film cooling flow to diffuse better in the second and third sections of the diffusion film cooling hole.
