Avolon Finalizes Record Order of 140 Boeing 737-10 Aircraft
Avolon has finalized a landmark purchase agreement for 140 Boeing 737-10 aircraft, marking the largest single-aisle order ever placed by an aircraft lessor for the 737 MAX variant. This transaction significantly expands Avolon's backlog to over 240 unfilled orders and underscores the surging demand within the single-aisle segment of commercial aviation. The deal highlights a broader industry trend, with lessors placing firm orders for more than 230 737-10 airplanes in 2026 alone—a fivefold increase compared to the end of 2025. Boeing's 737 MAX series continues to see heavy investment from leasing companies as airlines seek fuel-efficient, high-capacity aircraft to support projected annual passenger traffic growth of 4% over the next two decades.
