Boeing and Avolon, an aircraft leasing company, have agreed to an order for 40 737 MAX airplanes. This is a significant order, that took place during the second day of the Paris Air Show, as it will extend Avolon's delivery pipeline to 2030. The 737 MAX is a popular aircraft among leasing companies because it is fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly. The 737 MAX will help Avolon's customers reduce their fuel use and emissions by 20%, which will save up to 8 million pounds of CO2 annually.
This order is a vote of confidence in the 737 MAX program and a sign that airlines are still investing in the future of aviation. The 737 MAX is a technologically advanced aircraft that offers passengers a more comfortable flying experience. The order from Avolon shows that airlines are still confident in the long-term growth of the industry.
The 737-8 model, seating 162 to 210 passengers depending on configuration and with a range of 3,500 nautical miles, is the market's most versatile single-aisle airplane, capable of operating profitably on short and medium-haul routes.
Boeing customers have placed more than 1,000 orders and commitments for the company's new commercial airplanes since July 2022. This includes over 750 737 MAX airplanes, reflecting the value of the family's versatility and commonality.
