摘要
阿拉斯加航空公司宣布了其有史以来最大的飞机订单，购买105架波音737 Max 10和五架787-10梦幻客机。此举表明了对波音公司的强烈信心，尽管Max 10存在认证延误以及波音过去的安全问题。
关键要点
- 创纪录订单： 阿拉斯加航空下达了其史上最大订单：105架波音737 Max 10喷气式飞机和五架787-10梦幻客机。
- 事故后的信心： 这是自2024年1月其运营的一架737 Max 9发生门塞（内嵌式应急门）爆裂事故后，阿拉斯加航空对波音的首个重大订单。
- 认证与交付： 737 Max 10尚未获得美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）认证，且已延误数年。阿拉斯加航空预计今年获得认证，2027年开始交付。
- 机队扩张： 该订单支持阿拉斯加航空将机队规模从目前的413架飞机扩展到2035年的550架，其2024年收购夏威夷航空也助力了这一增长。
- 战略考量： Max 10更高的载客量旨在提升繁忙航线和拥堵机场航班的单位成本效益。
- 波音的复苏： 此订单被视为对波音公司在新任CEO凯利·奥特伯格领导下复苏及生产质量改善的信任投票。
