Boeing confirms Avolon order is for 737 MAX 10 jets

· Aviation · United States · Ireland

Boeing has confirmed that the triple-digit order announced last month by aircraft lessor Avolon is for 737 MAX 10 jets. The clarification pins the largest variant of the 737 MAX family to a major leasing customer, giving the program a significant backlog commitment from the lessor side of the market. Boeing has been working to firm up orders for the MAX 10, the longest-fuselage model in the family. The confirmation adds detail to an order first announced in September and shows lessors remain willing to commit to the MAX 10 despite the certification timeline. Neither company gave a value or delivery schedule in the report.

Why it matters：Lessor backing for the MAX 10 matters to Boeing as it works through certification and tries to rebuild confidence in its narrowbody family.

Key points

  • Avolon announced a triple-digit order last month.
  • Boeing said the order is for the 737 MAX 10 variant.
  • No value or delivery schedule disclosed.
