Aviation Capital Group (ACG), a global full-service aircraft asset manager, has signed lease agreements with Canadian carrier WestJet for the long-term lease of thirteen Boeing 737-10 aircraft. The placement follows ACG’s delivery of two Boeing 737-8 aircraft to the airline in February 2026.
ACG expects to deliver the world’s first Boeing 737-10 from its orderbook to WestJet following achievement of type certification. The aircraft will form part of WestJet’s wider fleet renewal strategy and provide additional capacity for growth across Canada and internationally.
“We are thrilled to expand our relationship with WestJet through this placement. ACG and WestJet share a strong commitment to the Boeing 737-10, with over 140 aircraft on order between us. This makes ACG the leading lessor customer for the type and WestJet one of the largest airline customers,” Thomas Baker, president and CEO of ACG, said. “This agreement demonstrates the strategic value of ACG’s Boeing orderbook and our ability to support WestJet’s future growth. We look forward to delivering WestJet’s first 737-10 and welcoming its entry into service.”
Mike Scott, chief financial officer and executive vice president of the WestJet Group, added, “This long-term lease agreement for 13 Boeing 737 aircraft with Aviation Capital Group supports WestJet’s growth plans and gives us added flexibility as we scale to meet guest demand. Shifting deliveries to the 737-10 is a strategic step that helps ensure we have the right aircraft in our fleet to serve our guests reliably over the long term.”
