China Eastern Airlines received its first Next-Generation 737-700 that has been configured for high-altitude/high-temperature airport operations. The new plane additionally features the new Boeing Sky Interior. The aircraft will be operated at the high altitude airports in western China.
This special feature package provides the Boeing 737-700 with a new engine thrust rating that allows additional payload capability at high altitude airports and hot conditions. The package also includes an extended duration oxygen system and equipment to utilize the enhanced enroute navigation requirements to and from high-altitude airports.
The Boeing Sky Interior introduces new lighting and curving architecture that create a distinctive entry way. Passengers enjoy a greater sense of spaciousness in the cabin in an environment simulated by light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. The new interior also features decorative sculpted sidewalls and newly improved and expanded pivot stowage bins.
