Boeing
has delivered two 737-800s to Brazil's Varig Airlines. The
jetliners sport a bright new livery which features a unique starburst design
that appears in three different locations on the tail as part of a variable paint scheme.
The 737-800s are equipped with Blended Winglets and
Boeing's special short-field performance package designed for short runways such as Santos Dumont in Rio de Janeiro.
"The Boeing
Next-Generation 737 family combines low operating costs with high performance, enabling our low-cost carrier business to succeed throughout
South America," said Fernando Rockert de Magalhães, GOL/Varig's vice president -- technical.
GOL, one of the world's leading low-cost carriers,
purchased Varig, Brazil's flagship airline, last year.
A third Varig 737-800
is undergoing pre-delivery flight tests.
