Insights
Boeing secures significant 67-aircraft order from WestJet, strengthening backlog and providing much-needed revenue visibility amid ongoing challenges.
This substantial order from WestJet represents a significant win for Boeing's commercial aircraft division. The agreement includes 60 737-10 jets and 7 787-9 Dreamliners, plus options for 29 additional aircraft (25 737-10s and 4 787-9s). This brings WestJet's total firm order book to 123 Boeing aircraft, including 107 737-10s total.
The timing is particularly favorable for Boeing, which has faced prolonged manufacturing quality issues and regulatory scrutiny. This order enhances Boeing's backlog stability and provides crucial revenue visibility. The 737-10, the largest variant in the MAX family, offers the lowest cost per seat in the single-aisle segment, making it especially attractive for WestJet's cost-conscious business model.
For context, the 737-10 typically lists between
The deal also strengthens Boeing's competitive position against Airbus, particularly in the North American market where Boeing has traditionally maintained strong customer relationships. By doubling their Dreamliner fleet, WestJet signals confidence in Boeing's widebody offerings despite increased competition from the Airbus A330neo and A350 families.
Importantly, this order advances Boeing's strategy of leveraging commonality between aircraft families, allowing WestJet to benefit from streamlined maintenance, training, and operations across their growing Boeing fleet while reducing their average fleet age below the current 10 years.
WestJet's order, which was listed as unidentified on Boeing's Orders & Deliveries website in June, includes:
- 60 737-10 jets and options for 25 more
- Seven 787-9 jets and options for four more
"With the addition of these aircraft, WestJet has the largest order book of any airline in
WestJet began operations in 1996 with three Boeing 737 aircraft. Today, the airline flies nearly 150 Boeing 737s allowing them to comfortably and affordably connect
"We are honored that WestJet has once again placed its trust in Boeing with a major investment that builds on our three decades of partnership and solidifies their fleet for the decades ahead," said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We look forward to supporting WestJet's exciting growth as they leverage the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner to serve even more passengers with great efficiency and comfort."
WestJet's fleet is among the youngest of established North American carriers with an average age of approximately 10 years. This deal brings WestJet's 737-10 orderbook to 107 airplanes, allowing the carrier to benefit from operational commonality while serving more passengers with the lowest cost per seat of any single-aisle airplane. The 787 Dreamliner prioritizes passenger comfort and operates more efficiently, bringing guests more affordable travel options.
