After launching its new Sky Interior for the 737 airliner last year, Boeing has sold more than 37 customers on the new interior for more than 1,100 firm orders in the 737 backlog. The first customer to fly with the new interior will be low-cost airline flydubai, which is to take delivery of its first Sky Interior 737 in this year’s fourth quarter. There were seven customers at the Sky Interior launch last year, and the orders for the 737 with the new interior are about half of the entire 737 backlog, according to Kent Craver, regional director of passenger satisfaction and revenue marketing.

The 737 Sky Interior shares the same philosophy as the interior on the 787 Dreamliner and 747-8 Intercontinental, according to Craver. “First is to create a welcoming environment through the architecture,” he said.
