Air Lease Corporation (ALC) has finalized an order for four 787-9 and has also exercised options for four 737-800s. The order was originally announced during the Paris Air Show in June.
“This order is a continuation of Air Lease Corporation’s disciplined approach to building its fleet,” said Ray Conner, senior vice president for Sales and Customer Support for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Air Lease Corporation has positioned itself for success since starting business early last year. These 787-9 Dreamliners and 737-800s support its strategy of establishing a fleet of young, high-quality, high-demand airplanes for its airline customers.”
The airplanes join the 74 737-800s and five 777-300ER (Extended Range) airplanes that ALC currently has on order.
"This order will continue to diversify our portfolio of efficient airplanes for our airline customers," said Steven F. Udvar-Hazy, chairman and CEO of Air Lease Corporation. "The 787-9, with its increased size and range, will provide our customers the ability to serve more cities with the lowest possible cost per seat."
