A week after securing new ownership and a much needed capital infusion, the UK’s Monarch Airlines finalized an order for 30 Boeing 737 Max 8s worth more than $3.2 billion at current list prices, Boeing announced Friday. The order, originally announced at the Farnborough International Airshow in July, includes options for another fifteen 737 Max 8s and marks the beginning of the British carrier’s transition to an all-Boeing single-aisle fleet.
