Boeing executives, over 500 employees, government officials and special guests celebrated the production of the 4000 yesterday NEXT Next Generation. The event took place at Seattle Boeing Field, and the aircraft will join the fleet China Southern Airlines, next week.
On this occasion, the Chinese airline will be proud of the 75 Boeing 737 it will receive directly from the manufacturer. Currently, China Southern Airlines still has orders 45 planes 737-700 and 737-800. With a fleet consisting of 450 aircraft, China Southern Airlines is the largest airline in China and ranked 6 globally.
To 4000 Next 737 Next Generation is a 737-700 model, configured in 2 classes and with a capacity of 126 seats. It will also come equipped with Boeing Sky Interior.
The Boeing 737 aircraft series is the best-selling aircraft in civil aviation history. At the end of 2011, Boeing delivered 7000 aircraft from the 737 family, of which 4000 aircraft are Next Generation. Boeing expects 2014 to produce 42 aircraft per month in 737. I think it would be a good idea to increase the pace a little, especially since they are being ordered over 9200 aircraft, including the future 737 MAX.
