October 3, 2012 - GE Capital Aviation Services
(GECAS), the commercial aircraft leasing and
financing arm of General Electric and Boeing
finalized a firm order for 85 737s, which
includes 75 737 MAX 8s and 10 Next-Generation
737-800s. The order, first announced as a
commitment at the Farnborough Airshow in July,
allows for up to 15 additional 737-800s.
The order, worth $6 billion at list prices,
further illustrates both the strength of the 737
MAX and the continuing strong demand for the
Next-Generation 737 in the airplane-leasing
industry. To date, 821 737 MAX airplanes have
been ordered.
“The 737 MAX will be a perfect complement to our
broad portfolio of modern, fuel efficient
aircraft that offer our airline customers the
lowest operating costs,” said GECAS President
and CEO Norman C.T. Liu.
