I have 2 questions about the sky Interior????

1. Who gets the First? When is it goin to be Delivered?

2. With The Sky interior is it better with fuel? (Consumes less Fuel)

Fair use: "FlyDubai will be the launch customer for the Boeing 737 Sky Interior which features new LED lighting, larger 777/787 style pivot bins and a host of other changes."

Article also notes a few other launch airlines.

"CFM will introduce the CFM56-7B Evolution engine in conjunction with a new interior to deliver a 1% improvement in overall aircraft efficiency. Boeing will also make minor tweaks to the aerodynamics of the aircraft to contribute to a 1% improvement as well. "

So the interior doesn't offer fuel improvements, but the improved 737's that will come with the new interior will have mods resulting in fuel improvement.

Is this a total of 1% improvement from the engines, interior and aerodynamics combined, or 2%, with a full 1% coming from the aerodynamic changes alone?

2% total, 1% each from engines and aerodynamics.

I thought I read that this engine received CAA and FAA certification only very recently (this week?) but I thought they said 2%? improvement in fuel burn?

Here's a link from CFM on the certificaiton of the CFM56-7BE:

The press release says the airplane/engine will offer a 2% combined improvement in fuel comsumption.

Thanks for the above.Either way 2% is a huge bump in efficiency for such a mature plane.I personaly love the new interior.The combined package will no doubt keep customers very happy indeed.It all adds further questions as to whether a major re-engine is really needed/wanted by large scale existing operators with all the associated increases in opertaional costs.

The engine exceeded its performance targets, though last I read, CFM won't say exactly how much better than 1% they achieved.

Me too!

No it doesn't; there is NO QUESTION that airlines want something drastically more cost effective. The 737NG and current A320 just aren't gonna cut it for the longhaul, and 1-2% here and there isn't the ticket to continued sales success.

is it on the whole line or just 800's

Whole line, as far as I know.
