While Alaska Air carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), Boeing carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Alaska Airlines already has six Boeing 737-9 jets currently flying in its fleet. Featuring CFM International LEAP -1B engines, these jets are fuel efficient. The delivery of this new aircraft advances the carrier’s fleet-growth plans to cater to the recovery in air-travel demand.
