Alaska Airlines has exercised options for two
additional Next-Generation Boeing 737-800s. The deal is valued at
approximately $153 million at list prices.
"Our financial performance
has been strong, and expanding our fleet with these two new
737-800s will not only help us fly more efficiently but also
launch new services for our customers, provide positive returns for
investors and ultimately, bring some of our furloughed employees
back to work," said Alaska Airlines' President Brad Tilden.
Including this latest order, Alaska will take delivery of 13
Next-Generation 737s over the next several years. Alaska Airlines
has 116 737s in its fleet, including 55 737-800s.
To date, more than 125
customers have placed orders for more than 5,400 Next-Generation
737s. Unfilled orders for the Next-Generation 737 exceed 2,000
airplanes, valued at more than $150 billion at average list
prices.
