Boeing and Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) on Friday announced an order for 15 737-9 airplanes. The agreement also includes a commitment for five 787 Dreamliners to support GBA's long-term plan to launch international long-haul service.
The new Hong Kong-based carrier said the 737-9 will form the backbone of its future fleet as it seeks to operate more flights between Hong Kong and major cities in Asia and the Chinese mainland.
"The new order will bring fantastic growth possibilities to GBA and enable us to strive for excellence in an innovative way for our valued customers," said Wong Cho Bau, chairman of GBA.
The 737-9 is designed to seat more than 190 passengers in a two-class configuration with a range of 3,300 nautical miles, providing operators added capacity and increased profitability within their network, according to Boeing.
Since the 737 MAX was launched in 2011, more than 100 customers around the world have placed firm orders for more than 5,300 airplanes, it said.
