Malaysia Airlines has taken delivery
of its 75th Boeing 737.
The airplane, a 737-800, is scheduled to
arrive in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Wednesday.
The aircraft comes with the 787
Dreamliner-inspired Boeing Sky Interior, which features larger pivoting
overhead stowage bins, larger window reveals and LED lighting to enhance the
sense of spaciousness.
Malaysia Airlines was the Asia launch customer
for the Boeing Sky Interior in October 2010.
“The 737 has been an amazing airplane
for our airline,” said Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, chief executive officer of Malaysia
Airlines. “When we took off on our own as Malaysia’s national airline on 1
October 1972, our inaugural jet flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore was
operated using the 737. Since then this aircraft has been a very reliable
workhorse for both our domestic and regional operations. We continue to be
impressed by the 737’s consistent reliability, unmatched economics and
innovation in passenger comfort.”
Malaysia Airlines took delivery of its
first 737 in 1972 and has operated the 737-200, 737-300, 737-400, 737-500 and
737-800.
