Fleet Plan
As of January 21, 2020, the Company’s fleet plan was as follows:
Mainline Fleet
Aircraft type | 1Q 2020 | 2Q 2020 | 3Q 2020 | YE 2020 |
---|---|---|---|---|
B777-200/300 | 96 | 96 | 96 | 96 |
B787-8/9/10 | 53 | 59 | 63 | 63 |
B767-300/400 | 54 | 54 | 54 | 54 |
B757-200/300 | 74 | 74 | 74 | 74 |
B737 MAX [1] | 14 | 14 | 14 | 14 |
B737-700/800/900 | 333 | 336 | 338 | 338 |
A319/A320 | 183 | 183 | 184 | 189 |

[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. 2020 fleet counts reflect only the 14 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft currently grounded in the Company's fleet. Prior to the FAA Order, the Company expected to take delivery of 16 additional Boeing B737 MAX 9 aircraft in 2019, and planned to take delivery of 28 Boeing B737 MAX 8/10 aircraft in 2020. The extent of the delay to the scheduled deliveries of new 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. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate the number of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that it will take delivery of this year.
