Global major aircraft leasing group Air Lease Corporation (ALC) has confirmed an order for a further 32 Boeing 737 MAX single-aisle airliners, the manufacturer announced on Monday. The order will include both the 737-8 and 737-9 versions of the MAX, although the numerical breakdown between the two marks was not revealed. This order is ALC’s second for the Boeing type so far this year. In February, it had contracted for 18 of the aircraft. That same month, the imminence of this latest order was signalled by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two groups. With the confirmation of this order, ALC now has an order backlog of 130 MAXs.
