The order is expected to include Boeing's current generation 737 aircraft and the updated 737 MAX-8 and MAX-9 jetliners, the daily said.

Boeing reported an increase in orders last quarter, helped by orders for the new 737 MAX. Boeing had received 821 orders for the 737 MAX by October 3. Launched last year, these have more fuel efficient engines. Boeing and Alaska Airlines could not immediately be reached for comment outside regular U.S. business hours.
