PUTRAJAYA, March 21— Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) today announced the acquisition of 30 new aircraft as part of its fleet modernisation strategy.
The order includes 18 Boeing 737-8 and 12 Boeing 737-10 aircraft, with an option to purchase 30 more 737 aircraft. The jets are purchased from The Boeing Company and are powered by CFM International’s LEAP-1B engines.
“The Boeing 737 has been a cornerstone of our fleet since 1969, with the introduction of the first 737-100 during the Malaysia-Singapore Airlines era. It has since played a vital role in supporting the growth of our national airline. The selection of the 737-8 and 737-10 reflects a careful evaluation of our long-term growth strategy, ensuring we have the right aircraft to meet evolving market demands,” MAG’s Group Managing Director, Datuk Captain Izham Ismail said.
