Alaska Airlines said it expects to receive its first 737 MAX 10 next year or the following, the company said during its second quarter earnings call on July 24, 2025.
“We’re excited to get the MAX 10 into the fleet, hopefully later next year or early the years after,” said Alaska CFO and EVP of finance Shane Tackett.
Boeing is continuing to advance the certification of the -10 variation of its 737 MAX aircraft. The manufacturer is aiming to certify the jet by year-end.
The company’s CEO Ben Minicucci added that he is “super confident” that the company will receive its 787s in our fleet over the next five to six years.
“We’re targeting 29% premium seat share by next summer when all 218 Boeing narrowbody aircraft retrofits will be complete,” said Alaska Airlines EVP & chief commercial officer Andrew Harrison. “We will also be elevating the guest experience by upgrading our Airbus A330 fleet with refreshed interiors and enhanced amenities. These strategic investments are not only meeting a structural growing demand for premium travel, they're diversifying our revenue base and reinforcing our long-term competitive edge.”
He added that the airline is “well positioned” to launch flights to Korea in September and Rome in May of 2026. The company plans to add more destinations at a “steady cadence” as it receives more 787s.
