Shenzhen Airlines Takes Delivery Of 737-900

Airline Expanding

Boeing and Shenzhen Airlines Friday celebrated delivery of the airline's first Boeing 737-900 airplane. The airplane is the first of five 737-900s that Shenzhen Airlines will receive through 2005 for domestic and regional routes.

"Shenzhen Airlines exhibits a visionary perspective of the market with this important delivery," said Rob Laird, vice president, China Sales - Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The capabilities, efficiency, economics and passenger comfort of the 737-900 clearly keep Shenzhen Airlines at the forefront of the world's airlines."

Shenzhen Airlines is the first Chinese carrier to order the 737-900 and this is carrier's first direct delivery from Boeing. The Shenzhen 737-900 carries 189 passengers up to 2,745 nautical miles (5,083 kilometers), and is capable of serving such routes as Shenzhen -- Beijing and Urumqi -- Shenzhen.

Like the other Next-Generation 737 airplanes, it incorporates a new, advanced-technology wing design that helps increase fuel capacity and efficiency, both of which increase range. Boeing has received orders for 55 737-900s from six customers.

Alaska Airlines received the first 737-900 in 2001. Overall, the 737 is the best-selling commercial jet airplane with more than 4,500 airplanes of all 737 models currently in service.
