Boeing has received an order for eight next-generation 737-800s with Boeing Sky Interior from South-African airline Comair for $646m.

Comair will use its new 737s to update the fleet of Comair’s low-fare airline, kulula.com.

The low-cost airline currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of ten 737s, including three leased 737-800s, it also operates as a franchise partner of British Airways, with 13 737 airplanes flying domestically in South Africa.

In addition, Comair is purchasing the maintenance performance tool box from Boeing Commercial Aviation Services.

The tool box improves an airline’s fleet efficiency by integrating manufacturer and customer documentation, use of intelligent graphics, cross-document searching and linking aircraft fault data to specific maintenance actions.

It also provides a comprehensive structural repair history for each airplane while reducing the time needed to find tail-specific technical information in time-critical situations, such as line maintenance troubleshooting and dispatch.
