Luxair expands Boeing 737-10 commitment with additional firm orders

Share

Luxair has strengthened its fleet renewal programme by converting two Boeing 737-10 options into firm orders and securing options for two additional aircraft, Boeing announced at the Farnborough International Airshow.

The agreement increases the Luxembourg flag carrier’s firm Boeing order book to 12 aircraft, comprising eight 737-8s and four 737-10s. The additional options provide flexibility for future growth while maintaining the operational benefits of a common 737 fleet.

The 213-seat 737-10s will be deployed on high-demand leisure and business routes, offering increased capacity, improved fuel efficiency and enhanced passenger comfort. The aircraft will feature Boeing’s Sky Interior, redesigned seats with a 76 cm seat pitch, USB-C charging at every seat and wireless in-flight entertainment accessible via passengers’ own devices.

According to Luxair, the 737-8 and 737-10 will reduce fuel consumption and CO? emissions by 20% compared with the aircraft they replace, while each aircraft is expected to cut annual CO? emissions by up to 8 million pounds. Powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines, the new aircraft will also generate less noise during take-off and landing.

Luxair said the order forms part of its long-term fleet strategy, enabling the airline to accommodate growing demand while improving operational efficiency and reducing its environmental footprint.
