is exercising options to purchase 52 aircraft for delivery between 2024 and 2027 growing the airline's confirmed fleet from 94 to146. Alaska also secured rights for 105 more planes through 2030, ensuring access to sufficient aircraft for fleet replacement and growth. This agreement represents the largest commitment for future aircraft in the airline's history.

This positions Alaska's fleet as one of the most efficient, environmentally friendly and profitable fleets in the industry. The order includes 737-8, 737-9 and 737-10 aircraft, enabling Alaska to optimally match aircraft size and capability with market characteristics so Alaska will have full flexibility to shift between 737 MAX models as appropriate.
