Lion Air Receives Its First 737NG Fitted with Boeing Sky Interior

Lion Air, Indonesia’s largest private airline, took delivery on April 21 of its first Boeing 737-900ER fitted with the new Boeing Sky Interior.

Designed to improve the flying experience for passengers dramatically, the Boeing Sky Interior features a number of enhancements. The sculpted sidewalls of the interior are intended to provide passengers with a feeling of spaciousness. New window reveals are sculpted to make the windows seem larger.

LED lighting can be programmed to provide a soft-blue sky overhead or to create different effects during the flight. Large stowage bins pivot down and out.
