With the FAA having recently recertified the Boeing 737 MAX for commercial service in the USA, American carriers are considering its reintroduction. American Airlines has already relaunched the type, whereas other carriers, such as Southwest, are not as rushed. Alaska Airlines can also be filed under this category, given that none of its MAX aircraft have been delivered yet. But when might the first MAX arrive at the carrier?

An ever-expanding order
Since placing an initial order of 20 Boeing 737 MAX 8 and 17 MAX 9 aircraft in October 2012, Alaska Airlines has added and swapped further examples of Boeing’s next-generation narrowbody jetliner on multiple occasions. Its most recent addition was a further 23 MAX 9 aircraft earlier this month.

Bloomberg 12/23/2020 Justin Bachman
(Bloomberg) Boeing Co. extended its sales streak of 737 Max jets as Alaska Air Group Inc. boosted an order agreement to 68 jets and announced plans to return to a mainline fleet with a single aircraft type.
The airline will stop flying 20 of its Airbus SE A320-family planes immediately, prompting a one-time charge of as much as $250 million this quarter to return the aircraft, according to a company regulatory filing Tuesday. Alaska will end the year with 31 Airbus jets, which it got from buying Virgin America four years ago.
