LAM – Linhas Aereas de Mocambique (Maputo) and Boeing (Chicago and Seattle) announced an order for three Next-Generation 737-700 airplanes. The order, valued atย $228 millionย at list prices, includes purchase rights for three additional Next-Generation 737s.
The order, formally signed inย November 2013ย and was previously unidentified on the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website, is part of theย Mozambiqueย flag-carrier and the country’s Ministry of Transport and Communication’s long-term strategy to increase flight frequency and provide greater route flexibility to and from the southern African nation.
LAM – Linhas Aereas de Mocambique’s new 737-700s will be fitted with Boeing’s latest Performance Improvement Package (PIP), delivering an additional two percent improvement in fuel efficiency for what is already the most fuel efficient single aisle aircraft. The airplanes will also feature the popular passenger-inspired Boeing Sky Interior, with modern sculpted sidewalls and window reveals, LED lighting that enhances the sense of spaciousness and larger pivoting overhead stowage bins.
Based atย Maputoย International Airport inย Mozambique’sย capital city, LAM – Linhas Aereas de Mocambique currently operates flights domestically and regionally, across southernย Africaย with a fleet that currently includes Boeing 737-500s, and other smaller regional aircraft.
