Among these 20 airplanes, 737-900ER is the latest model in the 737 family. It has improved aerodynamic and design aspects. It will provide room for extra 215 passengers. As said by Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, 737-800 is the backbone of the Turkish Airlines.
The new 737-900ER will easily fit into their existing operations. The company has also announced its new Boeing Sky Interior for all of its 737s which will give the customers increased level of satisfaction. This Sky Interior will offer soft blue overhead lighting, contemporary sculpted sidewalls and window reveals that draw passengers’ eyes to the airplane’s windows. Passengers will also have larger storage bins which will allow them to store their carry-on luggage near to the seat itself.
