The new Alaska Airlines 787 Dreamliner painted in the Aurora Borealis livery at the Seattle Delivery Center event.
A HISTORIC ORDER TO FUEL GROWTH AND GLOBAL REACH
Alaska Airlines finalized its largest airplane order ever, purchasing 105 Boeing 737-10 jets and five 787 Dreamliners, with options for 35 more 737-10s. This deal will help the Seattle-based carrier expand its domestic network and grow its international presence, while reducing flight emissions with more fuel-efficient aircraft.
The 737-10s will renew and grow Alaska’ s single-aisle fleet, offering the lowest cost per seat of any single-aisle airplane. Meanwhile, the 787 Dreamliners will enable the airline to serve at least 12 new international destinations across Europe and Asia by 2030.
