SunExpress order is vote of confidence in Boeing 737 Max

At the Dubai Airshow, leisure carrier SunExpress has exercised its options to order 10 additional Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft as part of its fleet renewal and growth strategy. The order is valued at US$1.2b at list prices and follows a previous order for 32 of the airplanes. “We have a long standing, strong and trustful relationship with Boeing and thus we decided to turn our option into an order. We stand behind our strategic decision to phase the 737 MAX into our fleet for all of its economic and ecological advantages, mid- and long-term,” says Jens Bischof, CE of SunExpress. “We have full confidence that Boeing will deliver us a safe, reliable, and efficient aircraft.” The airline currently operates up to 1,800 flights a week on a fleet of 84 aircraft, including the Boeing 737-800 and Airbus A330. <br/>
