Alaska Air Orders More Than 100 Aircraft From Boeing

By Connor Hart


Alaska Air is buying more than 100 new aircraft from Boeing, representing what Alaska Air called its largest order ever.

"These planes will fuel our expansion to more destinations across the globe and ensure our guests travel aboard the newest, most fuel-efficient and state-of-the-art aircraft," Alaska Air Chief Executive Ben Minicucci said Wednesday.

The Seattle-based carrier said it is ordering 105 new 737-10 aircraft and five new 787 aircraft, extending its aircraft-delivery stream through 2035. The order includes an option for 35 additional 737-10 aircraft during the same time frame.

Alaska Air said the new planes will serve to both expand its fleet and replace some of its aging aircraft. The airline added that its five new 787 aircraft will enable it to fly to at least 12 long-haul international destinations from Seattle by 2030, accelerating strategic growth plans.

The company currently operates a fleet of 413 aircraft, which it expects to grow to more than 475 aircraft by 2030 and more than 550 aircraft by 2035.
