Lessors are betting on the most spacious 737MAX to date Boeing and the Irish leasing company Avalon have completed an order for 140 Boeing 737-10 aircraft. This is the largest purchase of a 737 MAX by a leasing company. The deal was tentatively announced on October 9 as part of Avalon's order for 250 Boeing and Airbus aircraft. It has now been confirmed that all 140 Boeings will be the 737-10 version. Avalon's order backlog for the 737 MAX exceeded 240 aircraft. The 737-10 is the most spacious member of the 737 MAX family. According to Boeing, the plane can accommodate up to 230 passengers and a travel range of up to 5,740 km. The manufacturer claims the best seat-specific economic indicators among narrow-body aircraft. For airlines, this is an opportunity to increase capacity on busy short- and medium-haul routes without switching to wide-body aircraft. For landlords, the versatility of the platform and its relevance in the secondary market are important. In 2026, lessors have firm orders for more than 230 737-10s. This is five times the number of orders they have for this version of the MAX at the end of 2025. In total, lessors have ordered more than 1,450 737 MAX jets, about 20% of Boeing's orders. The 737 family constitutes about 30% of the global aircraft fleet, which is acquired through leasing, loans and other financial instruments. Avalon works with 138 airlines in 62 countries. As of September 30, 2026, its managed and contracted fleet consisted of 1,092 aircraft. On October 20, the FAA issued Boeing a revised type certificate for the 737-10. Boeing expects to begin deliveries in 2027. EASA validation is the next separate step.
