Boeing, SpiceJet finalize order for 30 Next-Gen 737-800s

New Delhi: Boeing and Indian budget carrier SpiceJet announced an order for 30 Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 with winglets in the presence of the US president Obama late last week.
Valued at about $2.3 billion at list prices, SpiceJet had declared its intent to purchase Boeing’s Next-Generation 737-800 in July this year. This order was previously attributed to an unidentified customer on Boeing’s orders and deliveries website. SpiceJet currently operates a fleet of 24 Boeing 737-800s and 737-900ERs.
Boeing will deliver SpiceJet’s Next-Generation 737-800s with the all-new 737 Boeing Sky Interior. The interior promises to redefine the travel experience for SpiceJet passengers, who will enjoy the modern, sculpted sidewalls and window reveals and larger stow bins that are standard with the new interior.
The Boeing Sky Interior is the latest in a series of improvements to the Next-Generation 737 family. The next to come is a package of performance improvements that will reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 2 percent - making the airplane a full 7 percent more efficient than the first Next-Generation 737s delivered.
