American Airlines Boosts Fleet with 85 Boeing 737 MAX Jets

Boeing and American Airlines announced today the carrier will further modernize its global fleet with its first order for the largest 737 MAX airplane.

American is committing to 115 of the 737-10 model, which includes a new order for 85 jets and a conversion of a previous order for 30 of the smaller 737-8 variant. The airline is also announcing options to purchase an additional 75 737-10 jets in the future.

“Over the past decade, we have invested heavily to modernize and simplify our fleet, which is the largest and youngest among U.S. network carriers,” said American’s CEO Robert Isom in a statement. “These orders will continue to fuel our fleet with newer, more efficient aircraft so we can continue to deliver the best network and record-setting operational reliability for our customers.”

With the agreement announced today, American will more than double its 737 MAX order book from about 70 airplanes to more than 150, supporting the airline’s long-term growth strategy with highly efficient jets for domestic and short-haul international routes.

The 737-10 will complement American’s current fleet of 737-8 airplanes, allowing the airline to tap into the 737 MAX family’s commonality and flexibility as it seeks to efficiently meet growing travel demand.
