Luxair will add yet another variant to the 737 MAX family. The Luxembourg airline has ordered two 737-10s with the option to purchase two other aircraft.
The main carrier in the European country, Luxair already flies the 737 MAX 8 and became the launch customer for the 737-7 in Europe last year.
“The purchase of the 737-10 is another step towards Luxair positioning for its future with the investment in the latest airplane technology that will support Luxair’s growth plans and the decarbonization of our fleet. There is high commonality between the 737 MAX models, and this allows for significant operational savings for the airline,” said Gilles Feith, Luxair CEO.

The 737 MAX 10 is the largest variant of the narrow-body jet, with capacity for up to 230 passengers. Luxair, however, will configure its aircraft with 213 seats with a minimum pitch of 30 inches.
“With three members of the 737 MAX family in its fleet, Luxair will have the flexibility to use the right-size airplane according to the market demand,” said Brad McMullen, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. “We appreciate Luxair for choosing the 737-10 to support its growth and improve the passenger experience, while realizing the benefits of operating an increasingly fuel-efficient fleet.”
The airline founded in 1961 will also soon receive four Embraer E195-E2s that will complement the Boeing 737 fleet.
