Deliveries for Boeing Next-Generation 737 jetliners reached a significant programme milestone when the 100th airplane was delivered to Scandinavian Airlines Systems (SAS) recently.
"It is rare for a commercial jetliner programme to deliver so many airplanes so quickly following initial certification", said John Hayhurst, vice president and general manager 737 Programme. "No programme in history has delivered a mix of three different models so rapidly."
SAS, which to date has ordered a total of 55 Next-Generation airplanes, accepted delivery of the milestone 737-600 airplane in a brief ceremony at Boeing Field.
