TREE NEWS update: Bohai Leasing said its controlled subsidiary Avolon’s wholly owned unit AALL signed an agreement with Boeing to purchase 140 B737 MAX series aircraft, with a total list value of no more than $26.953 billion. The actual purchase price carries a discount to Boeing’s published catalog prices. The deal is not a related-party transaction, still requires shareholder approval, and deliveries are expected to be completed by the end of 2036.
Bohai Leasing Unit Avolon to Buy 140 Boeing 737 MAX Jets for Up to $26.95B
Avolon is committing to a decade-long delivery stream rather than a near-term fleet top-up, which matters for how lessors position themselves as OEM backlogs stretch further out. The disclosed discount to list price means headline value overstates the real capital commitment, so the shareholder vote is the nearer-term checkpoint. Whether this scale of order becomes a pattern for other lessors, and how delivery slots through 2036 get allocated, is the open question.
