SEATTLE, Oct. 27,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- International Airlines Group
(IAG) has announced that its shareholders approved an agreement
with Boeing [NYSE:BA] to order a total of 50 737-8-200s and
737-10s, plus 100 options.
Boeing and IAG announced the agreement that was subject to
shareholder approval in May 2022. The
firm order for 50 737s will be reflected on Boeing's Orders &
Deliveries website in November.
"We welcome today's decision by IAG's shareholders to approve a
firm order for 50 737-8-200s and 737-10s, with options for 100
more, and we look forward to working with IAG on reintroducing the
737 in to the Group's fleets," said Ihssane
Mounir, Boeing's senior vice president of Commercial Sales
and Marketing.
The largest model in the family, the 737-10 seats up to 230
passengers in a single-class configuration and can fly up to 3,300
miles. The fuel-efficient jet can cover 99% of single-aisle routes,
including routes served by 757s.
The 737-8-200 will enable IAG to configure the airplane with up
to 200 seats, increasing revenue potential and reducing fuel
consumption.
The 737 incorporates the latest-technology CFM International
LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets and other
improvements to deliver the highest efficiency, reliability and
passenger comfort in the single-aisle market. The 737 family of
airplanes is on average 14% more fuel-efficient than today's most
efficient Next-Generation 737s and 20% more efficient than the
original Next-Generation 737s when they entered service.
