NEW AIRCRAFT FOR MAS.
Malaysia Airlines announced that they have ordered 35 Next-Generation 737-800 airplanes. The order is valued at more than $2.6 billion. The airline has also acquired purchase rights for an additional 20 Next-Generation 737-800s which will replace their existing 737-400 fleet, allowing expansion to points which were not economically viable currently.
Both Airbus and Boeing had been lobbying heavily to get this sale. MAS being one of the largest B737-400 operator in the world decided to continue using Boeing products. There are many angles to consider when making the decision and the most important one being the commercial considerations.
