DUBLIN - Aircraft leasing company Avolon has officially locked in a historic agreement with Boeing to acquire 140 Boeing 737-10 airplanes, setting a new benchmark as the largest single-aisle 737 MAX purchase ever executed by an aircraft lessor.
This deal expands Avolon’s total unfilled pipeline of Boeing aircraft to well over 240 units. The transaction highlights a surging global demand within aviation finance for larger, fuel-efficient narrowbody aircraft, which currently represent the fastest-growing sector in commercial air travel. With a capacity of up to 230 passengers and a range reaching 3,100 nautical miles, the 737-10 bolsters Boeing's market standing, as lessors collectively account for roughly 20% of the manufacturer's total backlog.
