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.
