Boeing has delivered two new next-generation 737-900ER (Extended Range) aircraft to Indonesia’s third-largest carrier Sriwijaya Air.
The carrier placed an order for two 737-900ER in June, which included the option for up to 20 additional 737 aircraft.
Sriwijaya Air president Chandra Lie said: "Today is a very important day for Sriwijaya Air, with the delivery of our first all-new aircraft.
"These new 737-900ERs allow us to remain a leader in the market with superior economics and the ability to provide our customers with a world-class cabin experience."
The airline currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of 737 aircraft that serve various Indonesian destinations and a select few international cities.
Featuring Boeing’s innovative Sky Interior, the 737-900ERs have modern sculpted sidewalls and window reveals, larger pivoting overhead stowage bins, and LED lighting.
