The airline company Malaysia Airlines released images of his first Boeing 737 MAX 8whose delivery is scheduled for early August.
Based at the airport of Kuala Lumpurthe Malaysian national carrier announced on July 19, 2023 the arrival next month of its first 737-8of which 25 copies leased from ALC are expected by 2026. Registered 9M-MVAMalaysia Airlines’ re-engined single-aisle aircraft still has no official configuration, its 42 737-800 which can accommodate 16 passengers in Business class and 144 in Economy, or routes on which it will initially be deployed.
Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi, Managing Director of Airlines at Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said : ” We are thrilled to present our passengers with a truly immersive and memorable journey that showcases our national pride and our commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences. The introduction of our new 737-8 aircraft in August 2023 sets a new standard in air travel, combining the best of Malaysian culture, cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices to create an unparalleled flight experience. “.
Every aspect of the design of the cabin has according to Malaysia Airlines “been carefully designed to enhance passenger comfort, such as the seat upholstery which features a debossed songket pattern, showcasing intricate patterns and vibrant colors of traditional Malay textiles. Whether passengers settle into their seats or move through the planes, they will be surrounded by an ambience that exudes serenity, elegance and a deep appreciation of Malaysia’s cultural tapestry.”
When ordering from ALC last year, the alliance company Oneworld pointed out that this year is related to the restructured terms of our existing backlog with Boeing “: Malaysia Airlines had “suspended” at the beginning of 2020 the deliveries of fifteen 737-8 and ten 737-10 expected since 2016 (with 25 options), before rescheduling them last May for 2024. These 25 aircraft still appeared at the end of June 2023 in the listings of the American aircraft manufacturer, without it being known whether they will be replaced by those leased .
