United converts 100 MAX to -10 variant; CALC includes -10s in order

Boeing’s strong opening act for the new 737 MAX 10, the largest of its re-engined narrowbody family launched this week at the Paris Air Show, continued Tuesday with major orders from United Airlines and Chinese lessor CALC. United Airlines is converting 100 of its previous 737 MAX orders to the new -10 variant. The conversion makes United the largest single 737 MAX 10 customer. “The 737 MAX 10 will enable us to continue using larger and more efficient aircraft within our domestic network,” United EVP and CFO Andrew Levy said. Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CE Kevin McAllister noted this was the 11th Boeing aircraft for which United had been a launch customer, going back to the Model 88 around 1928. <br/>
