Boeing said Tuesday that it had secured a firm order from the leasing firm Aviation Capital Group for 50 of its 737 MAX jets, the company's workhorse jet for the commercial airline industry.

The contract comes as Boeing is scrambling to restore client confidence in the 737 MAX after two fatal crashes involving the jets in 2018 and 2019. Financial terms of the sale to ACG, a major leasing company, were not disclosed in a joint statement.
