Seattle Carrier Expands Fleet Amid Long Haul Expansion Plans

Alaska Airlines has announced a significant expansion of its fleet with a record order for 105 Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft and five B787 widebody airliners. The new aircraft will be used to both expand the airline’s operations and replace some of its existing fleet of 248 Boeing aircraft. This move comes as the airline strengthens its long-haul operations to Europe and Asia, following the launch of a dozen new routes from its Seattle-Tacoma International Airport hub. The deal was announced to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Alaska Airlines’ first Boeing aircraft order, as reported by AeroTime.
