Boeing Offers 200 Seat 737

FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, /PRNewswire/ — Boeing [NYSE: BA] continues to expand its product lineup, announcing a 200-seat version of the 737 MAX 8 at the Farnborough International Airshow. This option gives airlines 11 more seats of potential revenue.

“This new 200-seat 737 MAX 8 ensures we’ll retain our leadership in comfort, capacity and lower operating costs in the heart of the single-aisle market,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Ray Conner. “With this increase in capacity and confidence in our engine and airplane testing, we’re on track to deliver a 20 percent more fuel efficient product than today’s Next-Generation 737.”

The 200-seat 737 MAX 8 is the latest addition to Boeing’s comprehensive product and services lineup. It follows last year’s successful launch of the 787-10 Dreamliner and the 777X to complete the industry’s most efficient widebody airplane lineup.

Boeing’s 787-9 Dreamliner will be featured in the flying display at this year’s air show, only days after the show opening.

Going into the Farnborough International Airshow, Boeing has booked 649 net orders—including an order from Emirates for 150 777Xs finalized last week. All further updates coming at the end of this week.
