The lessor announced 15 November at the Dubai air show it would purchase 30 Airbus A320neos, joining American Airlines as customers ordering re-engined narrowbodies from both Boeing and Airbus.
The lessor is the third customer of nine to publicly commit to the CFM International Leap-1B-powered 737. Only ACG, American Airlines and Lion Air have identified themselves as holding commitments for the updated narrrowbody.
Boeing says it has accumulated commitments for 700 737 Max aircraft since the aircraft's launch in late-August.
