Delta Air Lines has taken delivery of its first next-generation Boeing 737-900ER (Extended Range).
The delivery is part of Delta’s 100-airplane order placed in 2011 to renew its single-aisle fleet with more fuel-efficient airplanes.
“We have been looking forward to celebrating this delivery with Delta and are proud to see the Next-Generation 737-900ER join its fleet,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes Senior Vice President of Global Sales John Wojick.
“The 737-900ER is a great fit for Delta’s fleet. It provides best-in-class efficiency, economics, reliability and passenger comfort that Delta needs for its fleet renewal initiative,” he added.
The Boeing 737-900ER is the newest member of the next-generation 737 airplane family. It has the highest capacity and lowest seat-mile cost of Boeing’s single-aisle family.
Delta’s new 737-900ER seats 180 passengers and features the new Boeing Sky Interior. This interior is the latest in a series of enhancements for both airlines and passengers.
It introduces new LED lighting and curved architecture that creates a greater sense of spaciousness and comfort in the cabin.
The interior also features modern, sculpted sidewalls and overhead bins that disappear into the ceiling, yet carry more bags.
