Boeing Secures Order from BOC Aviation for 50 New 737 MAX Jets

Boeing has announced a firm order from BOC Aviation for 50 737-8 aircraft, significantly expanding the lessor’s 737 MAX portfolio to 215 planes. This new deal boosts BOC Aviation’s unfilled Boeing order book to 139 aircraft and marks the largest Boeing orderbook position in the company’s history. Currently, BOC Aviation leases 69 737 MAX aircraft to over 15 airlines globally.

The purchase comes as air travel demand continues to grow and airlines seek fuel-efficient, modern fleets. With projections showing single-aisle jets will make up 75% of global aircraft deliveries over the next two decades, lessors like BOC Aviation are increasing their investments in newer models. Boeing has received over 1,200 737 MAX orders from leasing companies to help replace aging aircraft.

The 737-8 model, known for its versatility and fuel efficiency, accommodates between 162 and 210 passengers and has a range of up to 3,500 nautical miles. Boeing emphasized that this aircraft helps airlines reduce operational costs and increase route flexibility.

Boeing, a leading aerospace manufacturer and U.S. exporter, continues to support global customers with commercial airplanes, defense systems, and space technology, underscoring its commitment to safety, quality, and integrity.
