Alaska Airlines Places Record Boeing Order for 105 737-10s and 5 787s Through 2035

The commitment secures scarce Boeing production slots through 2035, backing Alaska’s Accelerate plan to expand long‑haul service from Seattle.

Overview

  • The deal, the largest in Alaska’s history, includes firm orders for 105 737-10s and five 787s plus purchase rights for 35 additional 737-10s.
  • Alaska’s Boeing orderbook rises to 245 aircraft, with the group projecting a fleet of more than 475 by 2030 and over 550 by 2035.
  • The 737-10 remains uncertified by the FAA, and Alaska says it can convert to other MAX variants if needed.
  • Alaska unveiled its first 787-9 in a new aurora-inspired global livery at a Seattle event with leaders from the airline, Boeing and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
  • The additional Dreamliners support a goal of at least 12 long‑haul international destinations from Seattle by 2030, with services such as London Heathrow, Rome and Reykjavik newly bookable.
