Luxair Selects Orders 4 737-10 Jets

FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Luxair announced today the European regional carrier is again ordering a new member of the 737 MAX family to power its sustainable growth. A year after purchasing the 737-7 and 737-8 models, Luxair has now placed an order for two 737-10 airplanes with options for two more. The 737-10 is the largest model in the MAX family and provides the best economics of any single-aisle jet.

“The purchase of the 737-10 is another step towards Luxair positioning for its future with the investment in the latest airplane technology that will support Luxair’s growth plans and the decarbonization of our fleet. There is high commonality between the 737 MAX models, and this allows for significant operational savings for the airline,” said Gilles Feith, Luxair CEO.

“In addition to reducing overall fuel use and emissions, the 737 MAXs will help create a 50 percent smaller noise footprint by reducing noise generated by takeoffs and landings at Luxembourg Airport.”

“With three members of the 737 MAX family in its fleet, Luxair will have the flexibility to use the right-size airplane according to the market demand,” said Brad McMullen, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. “We appreciate Luxair for choosing the 737-10 to support its growth and improve the passenger experience, while realizing the benefits of operating an increasingly fuel-efficient fleet.”

Luxair currently operates a regional fleet of 21 airplanes, including two leased 737-8s and eight Next-Generation 737s. Luxair has expanded its route network by 30% in the past two years, serving 94 destinations.
