  • Lessor increases its 737 MAX order book with latest order for 737-8 and 737-10 jets to meet growing industry demand for fuel-efficient, single-aisle jets

Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Aviation Capital Group LLC (ACG), announced today the airplane lessor has finalized an order for 35 737 MAX jets, including 16 737-8 and 19 of the larger 737-10 variant. Following an incremental 737 MAX order last year, this new purchase increases ACG’s 737 MAX commitment to 82 orders as ACG grows its portfolio to meet customer demand for fuel-efficient airplanes.

“This firm order for additional 737 MAX aircraft enhances the strategic value of ACG’s order book, supports a key pillar of our growth strategy and reinforces our commitment to invest in modern and fuel-efficient aircraft technology,” said Thomas Baker, Chief Executive Officer and President at ACG. “We look forward to supporting our airline customers throughout the world with these highly versatile and fuel-efficient aircraft.”

The 737-8 can carry up to 210 passengers based on configuration with a range of 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km), while the 737-10, the largest 737 MAX model with the best per-seat economics of any single-aisle airplane, seats up to 230 passengers with a range of 3,100 nautical miles (5,740 km). Both variants reduce fuel use and carbon emissions by 20% compared to the airplanes they replace.

“Today’s repeat order demonstrates market demand for the 737 MAX family of airplanes as ACG’s customers seek to operate flexible, fuel-efficient fleets,” said Brad McMullen, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. “ACG has been a longstanding, valued partner on the 737 MAX program, and we look forward to working together to deliver the latest airplane technology to its airline customers.”

On average, each 737 MAX saves up to eight million pounds of CO2 emissions annually and is a quieter airplane, with a 50% smaller noise footprint than the airplanes it replaces.
