Boeing (BA) Wednesday announced that the company, along with its partner Norwegian, has received a firm order for 100 fuel-efficient 737 MAX airplanes and 22 Next-Generation 737-800s.
The company stated that the total order is valued at $11.4 billion at list prices and represents the largest-ever Boeing order from a European airline.
The 737 MAX is the new-engine variant of the world's best-selling airplane and builds on the strengths of today's Next-Generation 737. The airplane will be powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines which will reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions by an additional 10-12 percent over today's most fuel-efficient single-aisle airplane. The 737 MAX will have the lowest operating costs in the single-aisle segment with a 7 percent advantage per seat over tomorrow's competition.
