Macquarie AirFinance, Australia will add 30 Boeing 737-8s into its fleet

Macquarie Group, Australia's global aircraft leasing arm, announced on Tuesday that it had purchased 30 Boeing 737-8 aircraft in order to move to newer, more fuel-efficient models.

Macquarie AirFinance has not disclosed financial details about the deal. This is its second direct order from Boeing.

Macquarie AirFinance as well as Boeing have not responded to our requests for comment on the financial terms of the deal.

Boeing confirmed separately that Macquarie AirFinance has placed 70 737 MAX orders, which will be delivered between 2032 and 2032.

In 2025, the aircraft manufacturer has already won several major orders. Korean Air placed its largest order ever for a mixture of 787s 777s and Boeing 737s valued at about $36.5 billion late in August. BOC Aviation, based in Singapore, ordered 50 737 MAX-8 jets late in March.

Boeing says the 737 MAX is "well-suited" for supporting airline fleet modernization, as it reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 20 percent compared to airplanes that they replace.

Eamonn Banne, CEO of Macquarie AirFinance, said: "By adding these modern aircraft to our fleet, we reinforce our commitment to provide sustainable and cost-effective options to our partners."
