Boeing has unveiled the 737 MAX, the new engine variant of the narrow-body B737. The new family of aircraft – 737 MAX 7, 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 9 – is intended to deliver major fuel savings, including a 7% reduction in operating costs over future competing aircraft, as a result of the new CFM International LEAP-1B engines, as well as a more efficient structural design and lower maintenance requirements.
“The 737 MAX offers airlines the right solution and the best choice for creating the most successful future with improved profitability,” said Nicole Piasecki, Vice President of Business Development & Strategic Integration for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “The 737 MAX will deliver maximum efficiency, maximum reliability and the Boeing Sky Interior will continue to offer maximum passenger comfort. We call it the 737 MAX because it optimizes everything we and our customers have learned about designing, building, maintaining and operating the world’s best single-aisle airplane.”
The 737 MAX will also come fitted with the new Boeing Sky Interior, which features greater cabin headroom, pivoting overhead bins, LED lighting and sculpted sidewalls.
The B737 MAX will launch with orders for 496 aircraft from five airlines. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2017.
