WestJet Secures Lease for Initial Boeing 737 Max 10
Canadian carrier WestJet plans to acquire its initial Boeing 737 Max 10 before this year concludes via a long-term arrangement with lessor Aviation Capital Group. Despite the upcoming physical delivery, the airline does not anticipate flying the jet in revenue service until at least 2027 because Transport Canada typically requires extra time following initial FAA approval. This milestone signals momentum for the heavily delayed variant, which is closely watched by commercial aviators preparing for future fleet upgrades and transition training across major North American operators.
