This investment secures aircraft to optimize our growth through the next decade,” said Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci.
Already operating 35 737-9 aircraft, Alaska takes delivery of another 43 Max aircraft through the end of 2023
It will then operate a Boeing-only mainline fleet.
The order includes 737-8, 737-9 and 737-10 aircraft.
By 2030, Alaska could operate over 250 new aircraft from the 737 Max family.
