Lessor ACG increases 737 MAX order book

Boeing and Aviation Capital Group (ACG) have announced that the aircraft lessor has finalised an order for 35 737 MAX jets, comprising 16 737-8s and 19 of the larger 737-10 variant. Following an incremental 737 MAX order last year, this new purchase increases ACG's 737 MAX commitment to 82 orders as ACG expands its portfolio to meet customer demand for fuel-efficient aircraft.

The 737-8 can carry up to 210 passengers depending on configuration, with a range of 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km), while the 737-10, the largest 737 MAX model, seats up to 230 passengers with a range of 3,100 nautical miles (5,740 km). Both variants reduce fuel use and carbon emissions by 20% compared to the aircraft they replace.
