Article Summary

BUY
  • Boeing (NYSE: BA) secured the first standout order at Farnborough International Airshow as SMBC Aviation Capital, an aircraft leasing company, agreed to purchase 100 737 Max jets, including 60 larger Max 10 aircraft and 40 Max 8 jets.
  • The order includes 60 737 Max 10s for SMBC, marking an early commercial win at an event where major aircraft commitments are often announced, and may signal a more active return to air-show dealmaking for Boeing after The Boeing Company stayed out of last year's gathering following an aircraft accident that occurred a few days before the event.
  • SMBC strengthened its position in the global aircraft-leasing market after completing its acquisition of Air Lease earlier this year, becoming the world's second-largest aircraft lessor behind AerCap.
  • The enlarged scale of SMBC combined with its commitment to buy 100 Boeing jets could make the lessor an increasingly important customer for aircraft manufacturers as airlines continue using leasing arrangements to update their fleets without purchasing expensive aircraft directly.
