The Boeing Company has confirmed easyJet's announcement of an order for 17 new Boeing Next-Generation 737-700 aeroplanes. Deliveries are scheduled to begin July 2001.
"The 737-700 model will strengthen our route network from London-Luton, Liverpool and Geneva with enhancements that include a new, more spacious cabin and a flight deck featuring the most versatile display system offered on any commercial jetliner", said easyJet Chairman Stelios Haji-Ioannou. "We also look forward to operating the Next-Generation 737-700 with its unmatched reliability and range capability."
This is a new order not previously accounted for in cumulative order totals published by Boeing. This order brings the company's order total to 114 aeroplanes in 2000. With this order, easyJet will operate more than 40 of the jetliners. The airline previously ordered 15 Next-Generation 737-7008 and 12 new 737-700s.
