DUBLIN (Reuters) – Aircraft lessor Avolon on Friday announced the cancellation of an order for 75 Boeing 737 MAX planes that were due to be delivered by 2023, saying it was adjusting its order book to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Avolon, the world’s third-biggest lessor of commercial jets, said it had also rescheduled a further 16 MAX aircraft from 2020-2023 to 2024 or beyond, but it remained committed to the MAX aircraft. Boeing said Avolon now has orders for 55 MAX jets.
