Luxair Converts Two 737-10 Options to Firm Orders, Expands Boeing Backlog
BA sits 19% above its 52-week low of $176.77.
Summary
Luxair converted two 737-10 options into firm orders, bringing its total firm Boeing 737 order book to twelve aircraft—eight 737-8s and four 737-10s—and secured two additional options. The deal adds to Boeing's commercial momentum following recent orders from Uganda Airlines and MSC Air Cargo. While the financial terms are undisclosed, the conversion of options to firm orders strengthens Boeing's backlog and signals airline confidence in the 737 MAX family. The order supports Boeing's production ramp-up plans, with the 737-10 offering lower per-seat costs and 20% better fuel efficiency. This follows a series of positive demand signals, including China's 200-jet order and Vietnam's push for Boeing aircraft.
