SCAT Airlines (DV, Shymkent) has placed a new order with Boeing for five B737-9s, boosting the number of planned B737-9s in the fleet to a total of 15.
The company also replaced a previous order for five B737-8s with B737-9s, Boeing and SCAT jointly announced, stressing that the move will help the carrier expand its fleet amid growing travel demand.
The Kazakh airline said it was looking to “pioneer seventh-freedom routes from Central Asia across Europe and Asia,” with the updated fleet, while also reducing fuel consumption.
“Converting five of the previously ordered 737-8s to 737-9s, together with the new firm order for five 737-9s, enhances our seating capacity per flight and will improve schedule reliability as we expand our international network,” said SCAT's president, Vladimir Denissov.
SCAT’s active in-house fleet comprises one B737-500, one B737-700, nine B737-8s, seven B737-800s, five B737-9s, three B757-200s, and two CRJ200LRs, according to ch-aviation data.
SCAT Airlines said in November that it was also considering adding either B777 or B787 aircraft to its fleet for deliveries after 2030.

Texas-based asset management firm Black Forest Ventures, parent of aircraft management and charter operator Wing Aviation (CWG, Houston Hobby), has acquired MAC Air Group, including the group's Part 135 division, MAC Jet Charter (MAT, Portland International Jetport).
As of February, MAC Jet Charter's Part 135 certificate comprised two Challenger 800 (CRJ200)s, a Challenger 850, a Citation Jet 4, two Falcon 900Bs, a BAe-125-1000A, and a BAe-125-1000B. The company also manages other aircraft, including a Global Express XRS, a Global 5000, a Citation XLS Gen2, and another BAe-125-1000A.
Additionally, the company operates a specially outfitted CRJ700 Srs 701ER on behalf of Luxembourgish-American multinational satellite services provider Intelsat (Washington Dulles). The jet serves as a testbed and demonstrator for high-speed inflight internet connectivity.
MAC Air Group's acquisition further includes a 28,800-square-foot (2,675-square-metre) fixed-base operation (FBO) unit, MAC Jets, at Portland International Jetport. “Portland International Jetport serves as a key gateway to the Northeast's coastal destinations and supports a strong mix of corporate, charter, and seasonal leisure aviation traffic,” said Jeremy Gee, managing director of Black Forest Ventures Aviation.
Beyond this, MAC Air Group brings a Part 145-certified aircraft maintenance unit with a 12,000-square-foot (1,115-square-metre) hangar, along with a sales and advisory division. Black Forest Ventures said in a statement it plans to expand MAC Air Group infrastructure “to support long-term growth in the Northeast”.
MAC Air Group joins Black Forest Ventures' aviation portfolio which includes two Part 135 operators, namely Wing Aviation with a fleet of 21 fixed-wing aircraft, and Paradigm Helicopters, with two rotary-wing aircraft, alongside FBO chain Galaxy FBO, Part 145-certified aircraft maintenance provider MW Aircraft Services, acquired last month, and brokerage and advisory firm Feldberg Aero.
