Allegiant Orders Six More Boeing 737 MAX Jets for 2028

· Aviation · United States

Allegiant Air has ordered six additional Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for delivery in 2028, exercising its first purchase option under an earlier agreement. The order deepens the Las Vegas-based ultra-low-cost carrier's shift toward the 737 MAX family as it modernizes its fleet. Allegiant did not disclose financial terms in the announcement reported by AeroTime. The move adds to Boeing's MAX order book at a time when the manufacturer is working to stabilize output across its narrowbody programs. For Allegiant, the additional aircraft support its capacity planning beyond the current decade, giving the airline more seats to deploy on its point-to-point leisure network as it takes delivery of new jets.

Why it matters：A follow-on narrowbody order from a fast-growing US ultra-low-cost carrier signals that budget airlines still see aircraft supply as a competitive lever, supporting Boeing's order momentum while it manages production.

Key points

  • Allegiant exercised its first purchase option under an existing agreement.
  • The six jets are scheduled for delivery in 2028.
  • The carrier is an ultra-low-cost operator focused on leisure routes.
