SMBC Aviation Capital ordered 10 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft at the Paris Air Show.

This deal adds to a 2014 order placed by the Dublin-based lessor for 80 737 MAX 8s for a total of 90 on order.

SMBC ordered 60 LEAP-1A engines and 20 LEAP-1B engines for 10 additional 737 MAX aircraft. The total value of the orders is $1.16 billion.

“Last year we placed the largest ever single order of 737 MAXs by a lessor, and we are pleased to be adding further to that tally today, SMBC Aviation Capital CEO Peter Barrett said. “This aircraft is set to play a key role in our growing business in the years to come, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Boeing into the future.”
