It ordered nine 737-8s in May. Despite past difficulties with the plane, Boeing is seeing strong market demand for the 737 MAX family. It has booked 1000 gross orders across all models since late 2020. “The 737 MAX family strengthens ACG’s narrowbody portfolio, providing operators with excellent fuel efficiency and flexibility across different networks,” said Ihssane Mounir, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. “Topping up with additional 737-8s positions ACG well to respond to growing airline demand. We look forward to more opportunities to expand our relationship to support ACG and their customers.” A view of Aviation Capital’s portfolio of aircraft Image: Aviation Capital website.
