EgyptAir will receive Sunday evening its second Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which took off from Renton Municipal Airport in the US city of Seattle earlier as part of the 2016 deal to upgrade the national carrier fleet.
An EgyptAir maintenance team is on board of the plane.
The new jet is part of a USD 864 million deal EgyptAir signed with Boeing in July 2016 to purchase nine of the next-generation series planes. Egypt has already received one of the jets.
The 737/800 model is highly preferred by the main airlines as it has several advantages, including low fuel consumption and ability to fly for up to six hours nonstop.
The new aircrafts, which have several other advantages, including wider seats and other luxurious options, will help complete EgyptAir’s strategy toward upgrading its fleet.
