LOT is acquiring 6 more Boeing 737 MAX 8s as part of its fleet modernization plans. The airline said June 6 the aircraft are being taken on 9-year operating leases from Kuwaiti lessor ALAFCO. Five will be delivered this year, with the final example in 2020. LOT is already in the process of receiving a batch of MAX 8s from US-based Air Lease Corp.; the first and second were delivered in Dec 2017; another is scheduled to be delivered this month, while the final one will arrive in May 2019. The new 737 variants will serve on what LOT classifies as mid-haul routes, to destinations such as London, Madrid, Frankfurt and Tel Aviv.
