Boeing receives firm order for 140 737 MAX aircraft from Avolon

Boeing received a firm order for 140 737 MAX aircraft from lessor Avolon, as the company strengthens its partnership with the U.S. manufacturer. The announcement also includes Avolon’s acquisition of orders for 110 Airbus aircraft, made up of 75 A320neo models and 35 A330neo models, with options for 100 additional jets. Combined, the commitments cover 749 aircraft tied to firm agreements, intended to support fleet renewal and expansion plans for Avolon’s airline customers. The orders are still subject to shareholder approval for Bohai Leasing, which owns 70% of Avolon, expected before October 2026. In Q3, Avolon took ownership of 10 aircraft, disposed of 29, and signed 84 new lease and contract agreements.
