Following months of speculation about the new engine variant of Boeing’s popular 737, the US-based airframer made an official announcement last week, unveiling the ‘737 MAX’.
Benefits of the new family of aircraft - 737 MAX 7, 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 9 – include a seven percent advantage in operating costs over future competing airplanes as a result of optimised CFM International LEAP-1B engines, more efficient structural design and lower maintenance requirements.
"The 737 MAX offers airlines the right solution and the best choice for creating the most successful future with improved profitability," said Nicole Piasecki, vice president of business development and strategic integration, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
"The 737 MAX will deliver maximum efficiency, maximum reliability and the Boeing Sky Interior will continue to offer maximum passenger comfort. We call it the 737 MAX because it optimises everything we and our customers have learned about designing, building, maintaining and operating the world's best single-aisle airplane."
