January 2, 2013 - Boeing announced an order by
Aviation Capital Group (ACG) for 60 737 MAX
airplanes. ACG's order, consisting of 50 737 MAX
8s and 10 737 MAX 9s, was finalized in December
2012. The 737 MAX has now accumulated more than
1,000 orders to date.
"This order is a major step in building our
broad portfolio of modern, fuel-efficient
airplanes," said Denis Kalscheur, chief
executive officer of ACG. "The 737 MAX enables
us to offer our customers airplanes that provide
the fuel efficiency, reliability and passenger
comforts needed to grow in tomorrow's
marketplace."
The order, worth $6 billion at current list
prices, further illustrates the strong demand
for the 737 MAX in the airplane leasing
industry.
"We are proud of the confidence that ACG has
placed in the 737 MAX," said John Wojick, senior
vice president of Global Sales, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. "The 737 MAX will deliver
to ACG's customers unsurpassed efficiency in the
single-aisle market as well as improved
environmental performance."
