Alaska Airlines Received Its First 737-9 In January
Boeing and Alaska Airlines have completed an agreement for 23 737-9 airplanes and 15 options. With this agreement, the carrier’s 737 MAX order book, including options and lease commitments, stands at 120 airplanes. This deal was first announced in December 2020 as a commitment and will be reflected on Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries website. At that time; Alaska Airlines, a longtime Boeing 737 operator, placed an order for 32 737-9 jets in 2012. The 737-9 is a member of the 737 MAX family that is designed to offer more fuel efficiency, reliability and flexibility in the single-aisle airplane market.
