- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9, registered as 932AK and affectionately known as “Orca,” represents the newest chapter in the airline’s story of commitment to excellence, safety, and sustainability. Alaska Airlines has a long history of serving passengers across the United States and beyond. This aircraft is a testament to the airline’s dedication to providing a comfortable and eco-friendly flying experience.
- On April 9, 1967, Boeing’s first 737-100 took to the skies for the first time. Over the years, Boeing proceeded to enhance the 737 type with various improvements throughout the entire airframe. In April 2017, Boeing celebrated 50 years of flying the 737. During this period, model types have included the 737-100, -200, -300, -400, and the 737-500, wrapping up the “classic” lineup.
- In late 1997, Boeing began the introduction of the “Next Generation” types. These included the 737-600, -700, and -800, with the 737-900 wrapping up the “Next Generation” lineup. Meanwhile, competing Airbus continued to improve upon their A320 family of planes, putting pressure on Boeing to answer back with an even better 737 type. In 2011, Boeing answered back with the 737 MAX program. The 737 MAX type features an all new engine, along with fly-by wire systems, along with other cockpit enhancements and aerodynamic improvements, making them the most efficient 737s to ever fly.
- In December 2011, Southwest became the official launch customer of the type followed closely by both Ryanair and Norwegian Air Shuttle. In March 2017, over 9,448 737 types had been in service with another 4,506 units still on order. On January 29, 2016, the first 737 Max 8 took to the skies. The planned model types for the 737 MAX program are the 737 MAX 7, MAX 8, MAX 200, 8ERX and MAX 10. As of March 31, 2017, Boeing has garnered 3,703 orders for the 737 MAX program.
- “Orca” is not just a name; it’s a symbol of Alaska Airlines’ dedication to the Pacific Northwest’s unique wildlife and natural beauty. The orca, or killer whale, is a powerful and intelligent marine creature, mirroring the qualities Alaska Airlines values. With cutting-edge technology and a fuel-efficient design, the Boeing 737 MAX 9 demonstrates the airline’s commitment to sustainability and a reduced environmental footprint.
- Whether you’re a collector or simply appreciate the significance of this eco-friendly, passenger-focused aircraft, this 1:400 scale model embodies the spirit of Alaska Airlines and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
