BOEING REACHED a major milestone with EgyptAir recently when it delivered the airline’s 50th aircraft built by the manufacturer for the airline – a Next- Generation 737-800. The 737 is the 17th of 20 ordered by EgyptAir between 2005 and 2009. This delivery also marked a 45-year partnership between Boeing and the carrier.
Since receiving its first Boeing aircraft – a 707 – in 1968, EgyptAir’s fleet has expanded to include 17 B737s and 11 777s.
