Boeing and Luxair announced yesterday the European regional carrier is again ordering a new member of the 737 MAX family to power its sustainable growth. A year after purchasing the 737/7 and 737/8 models, the airline has now placed an order for two 737/10 airplanes with options for two more. The 737/10 is the largest model in the MAX family and provides the best economics of any single-aisle jet.

The carrier plans to operate its new planes to offer passengers a minimum of 30-inch seat pitch. In this configuration, the airline can fly up to 213 passengers on routes stretching 5,740 km (3,100 nautical miles), resulting in more capacity and range to capitalize on growing leisure travel.

Luxair currently operates a regional fleet of 21 airplanes, including two leased 737/8s and eight Next-Generation 737s. The airline has expanded its route network in the past two years, serving 94 destinations.

Founded in 1961, Luxair is a key player in the economy of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the surrounding Greater Region. It is also the provider of airport services at Luxembourg Airport and its air cargo division handles all kinds of goods.
