– European regional carrier cites ‘high-commonality’ between models as choice for adding 737-10 to growing 737 MAX fleet

– 737 MAX family will support Luxair’s transport capacity growth

FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 22, 2024 — 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.”

The 737 MAX family reduces fuel use and carbon emissions 20 percent compared to the airplane it replaces, providing operators greater efficiency along with fleet commonality. With the 737-10’s size, operators can carry more passengers and realize the lowest cost per seat of any single-aisle airplane.

Luxair plans to operate its new 737-10s to offer passengers a minimum of 30-inch seat pitch. In this configuration, the airline can fly up to 213 passengers on routes stretching 5,740 km (3,100 nautical miles), resulting in more capacity and range to capitalize on growing leisure travel.
