Chief Operating Officer Jason Berry told Reuters that Alaska expects 22 MAX 10 deliveries in 2027 and 30 in 2028. Flight testing is complete, but Boeing and the FAA are still working through final documentation.
Alaska will also need to complete certification work for its pilot head-up display after the aircraft itself is approved. The airline ordered 105 MAX 10s in January and holds rights for 35 more.
