Boeing and Qatar Airways have signed a memorandum of understanding for a firm order of 25 737-10 aircraft and purchase rights for 25 additional airplanes.
The total value of this 737-10 commitment is nearly $7bn at current list prices, a joint statement last night said.
The largest model in the MAX family, the 737-10 seats up to 230 passengers in a single-class configuration and can fly up to 3,300
miles. The fuel-efficient jet can cover 99% of single-aisle routes around the world.
“Qatar Airways very much looks forward to adding the 737-10 to its fleet, with this new variant of the 737 being ideally suited to our
short-haul network, allowing us an opportunity to further enhance our product offering for our customers, modernise our fleet and
operate the most efficient aircraft in its category,” said Qatar Airways Group chief executive HE Akbar al-Baker.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Stan Deal said, “The largest member of the 737 family, the 737-10 is an airplane that offers more capacity, greater fuel efficiency and the best per-seat economics of any single-aisle airplane.”
“We are proud of our partnership with Qatar Airways and honoured that this world-class airline continues to put its trust in our Boeing
team,” added Deal.
An international carrier with a passenger fleet that includes Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamliner airplanes and an all-Boeing cargo fleet of 747 and 777 freighters, Qatar Airways serves more than 140 key business and leisure destinations worldwide.
