SEATTLE: U.S. low-cost carrier Allegiant Air confirmed plans on Wednesday to buy 50 new Boeing 737 MAX jets worth $5.5 billion at list prices in a switch of supplier and strategy as it gears up for a post-pandemic rebound in tourism.

The order marks what one analyst, reacting to purchase plans first reported by Reuters https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/exclusive-us-carrier-allegiant-air-buy-50-boeing-737-max-jets-sources-2022-01-04 on Tuesday, called a stark change of approach by the fast-growing domestic carrier, which had previously relied mainly on used Airbus aircraft.
