Alaska Air to purchase additional 23 737-9 MAX from Boeing
Alaska Air Group said Tuesday it would buy an additional 23 737 MAX 9 jets, in a move that highlights growing confidence in Boeing Co’s aircraft following a 20-month safety ban triggered by two fatal crashes. The amended deal, under which deliveries are expected between 2023 and 2024, is also expected to increase the pace at which the airline’s fleet shifts back to Boeing planes. Alaska, for which 737 MAX order book inclusive of options and lease commitments stands at 120 airplanes, may exercise further options to purchase 15 aircraft with deliveries between 2023 and 2026. In December, Seattle-based Alaska Air had agreed to buy 23 MAX 9 jets, an order worth about $2.96b at list prices before significant discounts.<br/>
