Air Astana boosts Boeing with 30 plane order for 737 Max
Plane maker Boeing has received a much-needed boost after securing a tentative agreement from Air Astana to buy 30 Boeing 737 Max 8 jets.
The Kazakhstan based carrier signed a letter of intent to buy the 30 jets for its new low cost carrier subsidiary FlyArystan.
The deal is worth about $3.6 billion to Boeing based on current list prices.
Air Astana launched FlyArystan earlier this year.
"Air Astana has had a strong relationship with Boeing ever since the airline started flying in 2002 with a pair of 737 NGs. Today we operate both 757s and 767s and we believe that the Max will provide a solid platform for the growth of FlyArystan," said Air Astana CEO Peter Foster.
FlyArystan launches its first international route to Moscow next month.
The combined Air Astana and FlyArystan fleet comprises Boeing, Airbus and Embraer jets.
