EgyptAir has placed an order for nine Next-Generation Boeing 737-800s for a total value, at current list prices, of $864 million.
Eight of the planes will be financed by Dubai Aerospace Enterprise.
“The Next-Generation 737-800 has earned an excellent reputation for reliability, performance and cost efficiency and has added tremendous value to our operations,” said Safwat Musallam, Chairman of EgyptAir.
These aircraft will be deployed on the airline’s short and medium haul destination network.
EgyptAir currently operates 20 737-800NGs and, when this latest order has been delivered, will comprise the largest single-aisle aircraft type in its fleet. The airline also has six 777-300ERs and two 777-200ERs.
