Boeing and Kuwait-based ALAFCO Aviation Lease and Finance Company (ALAFCO) have announced a commitment for 20 737 MAX 8s at the 2017 Paris Airshow, valued at US$2.2bn at current list prices

?As a lessor, we are committed to providing our global customer base with technologically-advanced aircraft,? said Ahmad Alzabin, CEO and vice-chairman, ALAFCO. ?Fuel efficiency, operational reliability and efficiency are key factors for our airline customers and the 737 MAX will help us meet those demands in the single-aisle market.?

The 737 MAX family has been designed to offer customers exceptional performance, flexibility and efficiency, with lower per-seat costs and an extended range that will open up new destinations in the single-aisle market.

?ALAFCO?s commitment to purchase 20 more 737 MAXs is an excellent endorsement of the aircraft, which is already the fastest-selling airplane in Boeing history,? added Ihssane Mounir, senior vice-president, global sales and marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

?We are very pleased with this opportunity to help expand ALAFCO?s single-aisle portfolio with the 737 MAX and look forward to strengthening and growing this partnership even further.?
