The 737 Max line is quickly getting maxed out!

MEXICO CITY — Aeromexico, Mexico's largest airline, plans to buy 100 airplanes from US aerospace giant Boeing in an almost $11 billion deal, the companies said Wednesday.
Grupo Aeromexico has committed to buy a mix of 90 single-aisle 737 MAX 8s and 9s, as well as 10 twin-aisle 787 Dreamliners.

I saw some conjecture elsewhere that this is an extension of an existing order (for 787s and 737-800s) rather than a de-novo order.

Still, impressive, and shows the growth of Aeromexico since the demise of Mexicana.

How could that be when they don't have any orders?
