New 737 MAX 9 for Aeromexico

 New Boeing 737-MAX 9 for Aeromexico on lease from Air Lease Corporation

Leasing giant Air Lease Corporation has delivered one new Boeing 737- MAX 9 aircraft on long-term lease to Aeromexico. This is the first of four new Boeing 737- MAX 9s Aeromexico has committed to lease long-term from ALC.

“ALC is pleased to deliver this new 737-9 aircraft to our long-term customer, Aeromexico, today,” said Steven Udvar-Házy, Executive Chairman of Air Lease Corporation.  “This new technology 737-9 from ALC will play a key role in Aeromexico’s route network and overall fleet operations.” 

Aeromexico is one of Mexico’s leading global airlines has its main hub at Terminal 2 at the Mexico City International Airport. Its destinations network features the United States, Canada, Central America, South America, Asia and Europe. The Group's operating fleet is comprised of over 100 Boeing 737, 787 and Embraer E190 aircraft models. It was also a founding member of the SkyTeam airline alliance which serves in 170 countries by the 19 SkyTeam airline partners. 

The airline is currently battling restrictions imposed for U.S authorities over safety issues which means it won't be able to increase capacity on services into the states for some time to come which may hamper 737 MAX scheduling, where the - 9's were originally destined to go. 

Many in Mexico are angry that the national carrier and its leasing partners are renaming the aircraft the 737-9 in all publicity,  "It is a morally bankrupt decision to mislead the travelling public who rightly distrust the 737 MAX name and aircraft." one aviation correspondent told us on Tuesday.
