Boeing and Korean Air announced an order for two additional
Next-Generation 737-900ER jetliners on Monday. The new airplanes
will be fitted with the new Boeing Sky Interior and the order is
valued at $171.6 million at Boeing list prices.
Korea's flag carrier is in the process of revamping its fleet
with technologically advanced airplanes – having completed a
cabin refurbishment project for its mid- to long-haul flights early
this year. The addition of Boeing's Next-Generation 737-900ER will
further improve Korean Air's premium service strategy. "The
Next-Generation 737-900ER complements Korean Air's fleet of more
than 80 Boeing airplanes," said Marlin Dailey, vice president of
Sales and Marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The new Boeing
Sky Interior will enable Korean Air to further enhance the premium
flying experience it provides to its passengers."
The Boeing 737-900ER is the newest member of the Next-Generation
737 airplane family. It also is the highest capacity, longest-range
airplane in Boeing's single-aisle fleet. New aerodynamic and
structural design changes allow the airplane to carry up to 180
passengers in a two-class layout. The advanced-technology wing
design that helps increase fuel capacity and efficiency provides
substantial economic advantages over competing models.
Korean Air currently operates two 737-900ERs as well as a
combination of Next-Generation 737-800s and -900s in its
single-aisle fleet. The airline's fleet consists of 82 Boeing jets.
Boeing Flight Services partners with Korean Air to provide
Next-Generation 737 flight training for Korean Air's crews at the
airline's training facility in Incheon.
