Sriwijaya Air Takes Delivery of Two New Boeing 737-900ERs

Sriwijaya Air has taken delivery of two new Boeing 737-900ER (Extended Range) aircraft.

This is the first all-new airplane delivery for Sriwijaya Air, Indonesia's third largest carrier.

"Today is a very important day for Sriwijaya Air, with the delivery of our first all-new airplanes," said Chandra Lie, president of Sriwijaya Air on Thursday. "These new 737-900ERs allow us to remain a leader in the market with superior economics and the ability to provide our customers with a world-class cabin experience."

The Jakarta-based airline operates an all-Boeing fleet of 737 airplanes and offers flights to various Indonesian destinations and a select few international cities.

The new 737-900ERs feature Boeing's Sky Interior with sculpted sidewalls and window reveals, larger pivoting overhead stowage bins, and LED lighting that enhances the sense of spaciousness.
