Alaska Airlines buys more than 100 Boeing jets in carrier’s biggest order ever
Alaska Airlines placed its largest order ever with Boeing for 110 jets to modernize its fleet and expand routes to at least 12 international destinations by 2030.
- On Jan. 7, 2026, Alaska Airlines ordered 105 737-10 airplanes and five 787 Dreamliners in Seattle, marking its largest-ever purchase as the companies celebrate 60 years of partnership.
- With an eye on cost per seat, Alaska Airlines ordered the 737-10 to support fleet renewal and Alaska Accelerate, Minicucci said, quoting Alaska Air Group: 'This fleet investment builds on the strong foundation Alaska has created to support steady, scalable and sustained growth, and is another building block in executing our Alaska Accelerate strategic plan.'
- The order increases Alaska Airlines' 737 MAX order book to 174 while the carrier operates 248 737 airplanes and has five 787 Dreamliners with orders for 12 supporting 12 international destinations.
- Five 787 Dreamliners will enable expansion of Alaska's long-haul service to Europe and Asia, as the 787 Dreamliner's advanced design suits international markets.
- Boeing framed the deal as a sign of trust in its 737 and 787 families to support Alaska Airlines’ growth, serving aerospace customers in more than 150 countries.
