The Boeing Company this week delivered a Next-Generation 737-800 to Toronto-based Sunwing Airlines.
The third new Next-Generation 737 to be delivered to Sunwing and the first to be operated on lease from lessor Aviation Capital Group (ACG), the airplane is equipped with performance-enhancing Blended Winglets, which improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 4 percent.
The new airplane will go into service immediately on the carrier’s coast-to-coast domestic program and will serve Sunwing’s routes to the U.S., Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico.
Sunwing will lease a second new 737 from ACG in 2009, at which time the Sunwing fleet will comprise 15 airplanes, all Boeing 737-800s.
