Boeing and Alaska Airlines strike major deal; airline to purchase 110 aircraft

Boeing and Alaska Airlines have announced the largest aircraft order in the airline’s history. This deal is part of Alaska Airlines’ long-term strategy to expand its domestic and international route network. The order includes 105 Boeing 737-10 aircraft, options for 35 additional 737 MAX aircraft (the largest variant), and five 787 Dreamliners.

With this purchase, Alaska Airlines’ total 737 MAX order book has increased to 174 aircraft. The 737-10 aircraft will be deployed on high-demand routes and will help modernize and expand the airline’s single-aisle fleet. According to the company, this model will support its modernization strategy and future network expansion by enabling it to carry more passengers on more routes at a lower cost per seat.
