Southwest orders 100 Max 7 jets
Southwest Airlines has confirmed an order for 100 of Boeing’s 737 Max 7 planes. Southwest is converting 70 of its original order for Max 8 planes to the smaller Max 7 jets.
"This cost-effective order book with Boeing allows the Company to maintain the operational efficiencies of an all-Boeing 737 fleet to support its low-cost, point-to-point route network," Southwest said.
Southwest’s fleet is made up entirely of Boeing 737 planes. It also added 155 options for 737 Max 7 or Max 8 airplanes through 2029.
