American has committed to an order of 115 737-10 aircraft, including a new order for 85 aircraft and a conversion of a previous order for 30 of the smaller 737-8 variant.

The airline is also announcing options to purchase an additional 75 737-10 jets in the future.

With this agreement, American will more than double its 737 MAX order book, from around 70 aircraft to over 150. The 737-10 will complement American's existing fleet of 737-8 aircraft to effectively meet growing travel demand.

'Over the past decade, we have invested heavily to modernize and simplify our fleet, which is the largest and youngest among U.S. network operators,' said American CEO Robert Isom.

' These orders will continue to fuel our fleet with newer, more efficient aircraft so that we can continue to offer the best network and record operational reliability to our customers.'
