The Boeing Company and Jetlines
announced an order for five 737 MAX 7s on Monday as the new Canadian
ultra-low cost carrier builds its future fleet. The order, valued at
$438 million at current list prices, includes purchase rights for an

The new airline, headquartered in

reliability and passenger comfort in the single-aisle market. The 737
MAX 7 will be capable of flying more than 3,800 nautical miles,
extending the range over today's 737-700 by approximately 400
nautical miles (741 kilometers).
With this order, the 737 MAX has orders for 2,562 airplanes from 55 customers worldwide.
