Fleet Plan
As of October 15, 2019, the Company’s fleet plan was as follows:
Mainline Fleet
Aircraft type | 1Q 2019 | 2Q 2019 | 3Q 2019 | YE 2019 |
---|---|---|---|---|
B777-200/300 | 92 | 92 | 92 | 94 |
B787-8/9/10 | 44 | 46 | 46 | 48 |
B767-300/400 | 54 | 54 | 54 | 54 |
B757-200/300 | 76 | 76 | 75 | 73 |
B737 MAX [1] | 14 | 14 | 14 | 30 |
B737-700/800/900 | 329 | 329 | 329 | 331 |

[1] On March 13, 2019 the Federal Aviation Administration issued an emergency order prohibiting the operation of Boeing 737 MAX series airplanes by U.S. certificated operators (the "FAA Order"). As a result, the Company grounded all 14 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft in its fleet. The FAA Order also resulted in Boeing suspending delivery of new Boeing 737 MAX series aircraft. Year-end and 2020 fleet counts reflect the contracted delivery timing for Boeing 737 MAX aircraft without regard to delays resulting from Boeing’s suspension of deliveries. The extent of the delay to the scheduled deliveries of the 737 MAX aircraft is expected to be impacted by the length of time the FAA Order remains in place, Boeing's production rate and the pace at which Boeing can deliver aircraft following the lifting of the FAA Order, among other factors.
