Monarch Airlines firms options on 15 Boeing 737 MAX 8s
Monarch Airlines has firmed options on a further 15 Boeing 737 MAX 8s, valued at US$1.7b at current list prices, and signed a support joint venture with Boeing. The order, which was announced at the Paris Air Show, uses all of the options from Monarch’s 2014 order. It takes the airline’s total 737 MAX 8 commitment to 45 aircraft, with first delivery in 2018. “The order was previously attributed to unidentified customers on the Boeing orders and deliveries website. Monarch has confirmed the 15 options and has agreed with a lessor for them to take 13 aircraft for lease back to Monarch,” Boeing said. Monarch is transitioning from an Airbus to a Boeing fleet, which should be completed by the end of 2022. Boeing also announced it will supply Monarch with flight training for its 737 MAX fleet, as well as aircraft records management. <br/>
