Allegiant Air Orders 100 Boeing 737 MAX Jets

Allegiant Air has placed an order for 50 Boeing 737 MAX jets, with options for 50 more. The ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC) U.S. airline selected the 737-7 and 737-8-200 which provide the lowest seat-mile costs for a single-aisle airplane and high-dispatch reliability.

The 737 MAX family enables airlines to optimize their fleets across a broad range of missions. The 737-7 provides low-operating costs that enable carriers to open new routes with less risk, while the larger 737-8-200 offers added revenue potential and is right-sized for ULCC market expansion.

Compared to Allegiant's current fleet, the new Boeing 737 models will reduce fuel use and carbon emissions by 20%. Allegiant currently operates a fleet of 108 Airbus A319 and A320 airplanes.

Boeing and Allegiant will partner on entry-into-service support, enabling a smooth transition as the carrier adds the 737 into its operation. Allegiant will also utilize a suite of Boeing Global Services digital tools to further enhance operational efficiency.
