Avolon Finalizes Record 140-Jet Boeing 737-10 Order

Seattle – November 04, 2026 -- Avolon has finalized a purchase of 140 Boeing 737-10 airplanes, the largest 737 MAX order ever placed by a lessor, lifting its backlog to more than 240 unfilled orders, Boeing and Avolon announced.

Lessors have booked more than 230 737-10s in 2026

Lessors have placed firm orders for more than 230 737-10 airplanes this year. That is five times the lessor backlog for the largest 737 MAX variant at the end of 2025.

Avolon CEO Andy Cronin said the order strengthens the company's long-term delivery pipeline and its ability to support airline growth and fleet renewal "well into the next decade."

Lessors hold 1,450 737 MAX orders, about 20% of Boeing's backlog

Lessors have ordered more than 1,450 737 MAX airplanes in total, about 20% of Boeing's backlog. Boeing projects passenger traffic growth of 4% a year over the next 20 years, which is driving lessors to broaden their single-aisle offerings.
