WestJet Airlines Ltd. agreed to buy 42 of Boeing Co.'s 737-10
jets, with options for an additional 22 aircraft.
The two companies on Thursday disclosed the deal for the
737-10s, the largest of Boeing's MAX aircraft. Financial details
were not disclosed.
The 737-10 single aisle, twin-engine jets have improved fuel
efficiency and reliability over earlier aircraft, the companies
said. The additions will allow WestJet, Canada's second largest
airline, to reduce its carbon emissions while boosting passenger
capacity.
"With its lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, the
737-10 will further improve the environmental footprint of our
fleet," said WestJet Group Chief Executive Officer Alexis von
Hoensbroech.
