Alaska Airlines to put Space Bins on Boeing Sky Interior 737s
Alaska Airlines will retrofit all 34 of its Boeing Sky Interior 737s with Space Bins, the larger overhead bins created by Boeing. The carrier will modify the 737s, mostly -900ERs, with the Space Bins, which increase the space for overhead carry-on baggage by up to 50%. Alaska was the launch customer for the product. Alaska Airlines’ treasurer and VP finance Mark Eliasen said the Space Bins would make it possible for virtually all passengers to bring on-board a wheeled bag. Each Space Bin stows 6 bags, 2 more than the current pivot bins installed on Next-Generation 737s with the Boeing Sky Interior. When opened, the bottom edge of a Space Bin hangs about 2 inches lower. They are available for retrofit on in-service Next-Generation 737s, and as an optional feature on in-production Next-Generation 737s and 737 MAXs. <br/>
