Aviation Capital Group Grows Portfolio With Order for 50 Boeing 737 MAX Aircraft

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Aviation Capital Group LLC (ACG), announced today that the lessor has finalized a new order for 50 737 MAX jets.

The order is comprised of 25 737-8 and 25 737-10 variants scheduled to deliver in 2032 and 2033. With this new order, ACG increases its Boeing 737 MAX order book to 121 aircraft as it expands its portfolio to meet growing customer demand for fuel-efficient airplanes.

“This order for additional 737 MAX aircraft enhances the strategic value of ACG’s order book, supports a key pillar of our growth strategy and reinforces our commitment to the latest fuel-efficient aircraft technology,” said Thomas Baker, Chief Executive Officer and President of ACG. “We are pleased to be able to offer our global customers a continuous stream of 737 MAX delivery positions from 2026 to 2033 to support their growth, as well as the versatility of both the 737-8 and 737-10 variants.”

The 737-8 can carry up to 189 passengers and has a range of 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km), while the 737-10, the largest 737 MAX model up to 230 passengers and has a range of 3,100 nautical miles (5,740 km). With a total of 50 737-10 aircraft now on order, ACG becomes the lessor with the largest backlog of Boeing’s largest single-aisle jet. All of the aircraft in this order will be powered by LEAP-1B engines from CFM International.

“ACG’s expanded order for the 737-10 reflects strong confidence in the airplane and its appeal to the lessor’s customers worldwide,” said Brad McMullen, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. “With this repeat order, ACG continues to be an established and highly valued partner on the 737 MAX program, and we look forward to deepening this relationship in the coming years as we deliver its first 737-10 airplanes.”

“We are pleased ACG appreciates the efficiency and reliability of LEAP-powered 737 MAX aircraft and is further expanding its fleet,” said Gael Meheust, president and CEO, CFM International. “As we did with the CFM56 engines, we continue to invest in LEAP engine durability to bring ACG’s customers even greater value.”

On average, each 737 MAX reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 20% and has a 50% smaller noise footprint compared to the airplane types they replace.
