“Today’s order is an exciting moment in the history of Jackson Square Aviation, We are excited to become even more of a full-service partner for our airline customers by expanding our fleet of 737 MAX airplanes as global demand for narrow-body jets continues to rise. The MAX is quickly becoming an important part of our portfolio and we look forward to offering this modern, fuel-efficient and reliable aircraft to airlines around the world. We have carefully evaluated how speculative orders can enhance our long-term business model, and this transaction signifies the next step in that development.”

We are proud to have been their partner and we are extremely honored that JSA has chosen to expand its business on the wings of the 737 MAX, The 737 MAX is the best airplane in the single-aisle segment. It will provide Jackson Square Aviation’s customers with exceptional efficiency, improved range and unmatched reliability.”
