Aviation Capital Group (ACG) has confirmed the purchase of 35 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, with deliveries scheduled to conclude by 2031. The US-based aircraft leasing company, which has orders from both Airbus and Boeing, announced that this acquisition provides a significant boost to Boeing's commercial efforts for the 737 MAX.
The order includes 16 units of the 737 MAX 8 and 19 units of the 737 MAX 10. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has yet to certify the latter for commercial operations. Thomas Baker, CEO and president of ACG, remarked that this firm order enhances the strategic value of ACG’s order book and supports its growth strategy. "We look forward to supporting our airline customers throughout the world with these highly versatile and fuel-efficient aircraft," Baker said.
Brad McMullen, Boeing's Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales and Marketing, noted that ACG’s repeat order demonstrates that its customer airlines are seeking flexible and fuel-efficient fleets. McMullen emphasized ACG's role as a valued partner in the 737 MAX program and expressed anticipation for delivering next-generation aircraft to ACG’s customers.
