AerCap Holdings ordered 100 Boeing 737 MAX 8s at the Paris Air Show.

The order, valued at $10.7 billion at current list prices, is the first 737 MAX order for the Netherlands-headquartered lessor.

The aircraft will be powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines, in an engine order valued at $2.7 billion at US list prices.

“This order complements our existing order book in the single-aisle category and is in line with our customer needs and our fleet strategy of leasing the most-in-demand and technologically advanced equipment,” AerCap CEO Aengus Kelly said. “We see significant market appetite for this aircraft type from our diverse customer base spanning approximately 90 countries around the world.
