Ukrainian AeroSvit Airlines (VV) took delivery of a Boeing 737-800, its first NextGen aircraft.
VV supervisory board chairman Gregory Gurtovoy said this delivery, the first of 11 aircraft, “marks the beginning of our airline’s narrow body fleet renewal. Execution of this large scale program will help AeroSvit to increase our operating efficiency.”
The carrier’s order includes seven 737-800s and four 737-900s. VV expects delivery of all the aircraft by 2016.
In 2011, VV took delivery of five 737 Classics and four Boeing 767s. It has 27 aircraft in its fleet. VV also operates Airbus A320s, A321s and Embraer E-145/195s.
VV, established in 1994, is based at Kyiv-Boryspil. The carrier serves 80 international routes to 34 countries, including five transcontinental destinations—New York, Toronto, Beijing, Delhi and Bangkok. It also provides passenger service to major regional centers in the Ukraine.
