Boeing will deliver an additional next-generation 737-800 aircraft to Luxair under a finalised order.

The airline ordered a 737-800 in June 2010.

LuxairGroup president and CEO Adrien Ney said the 737-800 had already proved to be a success with Luxair, with the aircraft providing it and its tour operator LuxairTours with the ideal aircraft on flights to the Mediterranean and Cabo Verde in Africa.

The new 737 will be equipped with advanced-technology blended winglets that reduce drag, resulting in less fuel consumption and a decrease in carbon emissions of 3.5% to 4%.

Luxair has selected the 737 Boeing sky interior for the aircraft.
