Avolon Orders 75 Boeing Max Aircraft

Avolon, a Dublin-based aircraft leasing company, has finalized an order for 75 Boeing 737 MAX airplanes.

The confirmed order is for 55 MAX 8s and 20 MAX 10s, with options for 20 additional MAX 8s. The deal is valued at nearly $11 billion at list prices including the 75 firm and 20 option aircraft.

The 737 MAX is powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines.

"This order for Boeing's newest 737 MAX airplanes will strengthen Avolon's position as a leading lessor in the global commercial aviation market," said Avolon CEO, Dómhnal Slattery. "This is the largest single order that we have placed with Boeing to date and underscores the scale of our ambition and the strength of our business. We have experienced strong interest in our initial MAX orders and this incremental order reflects this demand. With over 140 MAX aircraft now in our owned and committed fleet, we are confident that the superior economics and solid reliability of the 737 MAX family of airplanes will continue to allow our customers to grow their businesses profitably for many years to come."
