Macquarie AirFinance has increased its commitment to the 737 Max with an order for a further 30 jets.
The purchase was booked in July but attributed to an undisclosed customer.
All 30 aircraft are the Max 8 variant, powered by CFM Leap-1B engines.
Macquarie already had 40 Max aircraft in its backlog, having placed a direct order for 20 last year, after it had already taken over an earlier deal for 20 from Kuwaiti lessor ALAFCO.
The new agreement takes Macquarie’s overall commitment to 70. Deliveries will run to 2032.
”This incremental order marks another milestone in our company’s growth strategy,” says chief executive Eamonn Bane.
He says the Max is an “ideal choice” for its customers.
”By expanding our fleet with these state-of-the-art aircraft, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to our partners, while supporting the future of global aviation,” he adds.
