Air Senegal Commits to First Boeing 737 MAX Order

Air Senegal's order of nine Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets will boost routes from Dakar to Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, cutting fuel use by 20%, Boeing said.

  • Air Senegal committed to order nine 737 MAX 737-8 airplanes, its largest-ever Boeing purchase and first since 2004, announced in Dubai, UAE.
  • To support regional and international growth, Air Senegal will expand routes from Dakar into Europe and launch new services to the Middle East and Americas, serving secondary European cities.
  • The 737-8 can carry up to 178 passengers and fly about 3,500 nautical miles, while Boeing says it reduces fuel use and emissions 20% and cuts noise footprint 50%.
  • The purchase aligns with Boeing's view of over 1,200 new airplanes needed in Africa, with single-aisle jets comprising more than 70% of deliveries, positioning Boeing to meet regional demand.
  • Brad McMullen said, "We look forward to welcoming Air Senegal to the 737 MAX family as they leverage the versatility, reliability and advanced technology of the 737-8 to support their growth ambitions," as Boeing emphasized its commitment to safety and quality.
