Aircraft Orders and Deliveries

Côte d’Ivoire’s national carrier, Air Côte d’Ivoire, has taken delivery of the first of two Airbus A330neo aircraft, which are expected to support new routes.

WestJet this week placed an order with Boeing for 60 737 MAX 10 narrowbody jets and seven 787-9 Dreamliners as part of its ongoing fleet expansion effort.

American Airlines received its 1,000th mainline aircraft – a Boeing 787 – at Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport on Aug. 29.

Boeing revealed Tuesday that a previously unidentified order for 30 737 MAX aircraft was placed by aviation leasing company Macquarie AirFinance.

Alaska Air Group – the parent company of Alaska and Hawaiian – is planning to diversify its order book with larger widebody aircraft.

Korean Air has agreed to purchase 103 new Boeing aircraft, the largest order ever for the airline and Boeing’s largest widebody order from an Asian carrier.

Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific this week ordered 14 more Boeing 777-9 aircraft, bringing its total order for the model to 35.

Delivery of the longer-range narrowbody aircraft was initially slated for 2023, but has since been delayed following the airline’s 2019 order.

Officials from the two companies marked the handover with a ceremony at Airbus’ facility in Hamburg, Germany, earlier this week.

The company currently has 145 A320neo-family aircraft in its delivered fleet, and commitments for a further 358, including this week’s order.
