The deal will see the company get two 737 MAX 8s and seven MAX 9s which are currently in storage from cancelled orders after the two fatal crashes that saw the type grounded for nearly two years. Aeromexico is scheduled to take delivery of the last plane in early August next year.
“Air Lease Corporation is Aeromexico’s largest lessor, and we are pleased to further our relationship with the airline with these nine new Boeing 737 aircraft lease placements,” said Steven Udvar-Házy, Executive Chairman of Air Lease Corporation. “The 737 offers the most modern, fuel-efficient technology to enhance the global capabilities of Mexico’s premier airline.”
“Aeromexico is delighted once again to partner with ALC to help modernize our fleet with new fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly Boeing aircraft in 2022 and 2023,” said Dr Andres Conesa, CEO of Aeromexico.
The carrier is just emerging for bankruptcy protection and has said it plans to invest around $5 million on updating and renewing its aircraft fleet, with an estimate of operating nearly 150 planes by the end of the year.
