Alaska Airlines announced the largest aircraft order in its history, committing to buy 105 Boeing 737-10 jets and five widebody 787 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled through 2035 and options for an additional 35 737-10s.
The deal increases Alaska’s total Boeing order book to 245 aircraft, adding to the 94 MAX jets already in its fleet. The 737-10s will support both capacity growth and the replacement of older, less fuel-efficient narrowbody aircraft, helping the airline maintain one of the youngest fleets among premium global carriers.
The five additional 787 widebodies will play a key role in Alaska’s long-haul strategy, including the introduction of the airline’s new global livery and expanded service from Seattle to Europe and Asia. By 2030, Alaska plans to serve at least 12 long-haul international destinations, building on recently announced routes such as London, Rome, Reykjavik, Tokyo, and Seoul.
