Alaska Airlines recalibrates Boeing 737-9 order

Alaska Airlines has adjusted its current 737-9 aircraft order with Boeing to include the bigger 737-10 and longer-range 737-8, which are all part of the 737 MAX family of planes. “We’re excited to add these new 737 models to our fleet and continue our upgauging strategy, which maximizes our revenue opportunity with more seats while reducing unit costs,” said Nat Pieper, senior vice president of fleet, finance and alliances at Alaska Airlines. “This announcement is a further step in our drive toward a single fleet featuring Boeing aircraft and CFM engines – we are very appreciative of their partnerships.” Prior
