These latest generation aircraft are more fuel efficient than those they will replace and in line with our commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050,&#8221; said&nbsp;Luis Gallego, IAG\u00b4s chief executive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 737-8-200 will enable IAG to configure the airplane with up to 200 seats, increasing revenue potential and reducing fuel consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest model in the 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, including routes served by 757s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;With the selection of the 737-8-200 and larger 737-10, IAG has invested in a sustainable and profitable future, as both variants will significantly lower operating costs and CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;emissions,&#8221; said&nbsp;Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. &#8220;Today&#8217;s agreement for up to 150 airplanes, including 100 options, is a welcome addition of the 737 to IAG\u00b4s short-haul fleets and reflects our commitment to support the Group&#8217;s continued network recovery and future growth with Boeing&#8217;s unrivalled family of airplanes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 737 incorporates the latest-technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets and other improvements to deliver the highest efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort in the single-aisle market. The 737 family of airplanes is on average 14% more fuel-efficient than today&#8217;s most efficient Next-Generation 737s and 20% more efficient than the original Next-Generation 737s when they entered service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s announcement finalizes a commitment made by IAG for the 737 at the 2019 Paris Air Show and is subject to approval by IAG shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SOURCE Boeing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEATTLE,&nbsp;May 19, 2022&nbsp;\/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; Boeing [NYSE: BA] and International Airlines Group (IAG) today announced an order for a combined total of 50 737-8-200s and 737-10s, plus 100 options. &#8220;The addition of new Boeing 737s is an important part of IAG\u00b4s short-haul fleet renewal.
