Airline Plans To Introduce New Jet Into Passenger Service By Spring
Alaska Air is anticipating the certification of Boeing’s 737 MAX 10 by the end of September, with plans to take delivery of its first aircraft next spring. The airline intends to introduce the MAX 10 into passenger service between April and mid-May, pending certification from the Federal Aviation Administration. This development is crucial for Boeing’s financial recovery, as the MAX 10 accounts for a significant portion of undelivered 737 orders. According to Alaska Air’s Chief Operating Officer, Jason Berry, the airline has made the MAX 10 a key part of its growth plans, with 22 deliveries expected in 2027 and 30 in 2028. This was first reported by Reuters.
