American Airlines has placed an order for 85 737 Max 10 aircraft from Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The order is for Boeing's largest aircraft model, the 737-10 Max, and is a model American Airlines previously did not have in its fleet. In addition to the new order for 85 aircraft, American Airlines is converting a previous order for 30 aircraft from the smaller 737-8 model to the 737-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An option to purchase an additional 75 737-10 aircraft has also been signed, according to a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
American Airlines has previously placed orders for a total of 70 Boeing aircraft, which means that the total order book for the Boeing 737 Max amounts to 150 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not clear how much American Airlines is expected to pay for the ordered planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
American Airlines shares are down just over 4 percent as of 7:30 p.m. Monday. Boeing shares are up 0.4 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boeing's 737 Max series has been plagued by accidents. Most recently, in early January, flights with Boeing's 737 Max 9 model were halted after an emergency exit door came loose at an altitude of 5,000 meters a few minutes after takeoff on an Alaska Airlines flight. In February, the company announced that the head of the 737 Max program was leaving the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
