Boeing and Air China have celebrated the delivery of the Beijing-based airline’s first Next-Generation 737-800 with the new Boeing Sky Interior. With this new addition to its fleet, Air China has become the first Chinese airline to operate the 737-800 with the Sky Interior, which features larger stowage bins and sculpted sidewalls, a LED lighting system and curved architecture, as well as more intuitive passenger service units.
Boeing Sky Interior is the latest in a series of improvements to the Next-Generation 737. The next to come will be a package of performance improvements that will reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 2 percent - making the aircraft a full 7 percent more efficient than the first Next-Generation 737s delivered. The performance improvements to the airframe and engine are in certification test, and will be phased into production between mid-2011 and early 2012.
To date, 60 customers have ordered the new interior for 1,689 aircraft.
