JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Comair Limited today announced an order for eight Next-Generation 737-800s complete with the innovative new Boeing Sky Interior.

Comair will use its new 737s to update the fleet of Comair's low-fare airline, kulula.com.

The airplanes are valued at approximately $646 million at current list prices.

The order previously was attributed to an unidentified customer on Boeing's orders and deliveries website.

Launched in 2001 as South Africa's first low-fare carrier, kulula.com currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of ten 737s, including three leased 737-800s.

Comair also operates as a franchise partner of British Airways, with thirteen 737 airplanes flying domestically in South Africa and regionally in Southern Africa.

South African carrier Comair has confirmed its order for eight [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]-800 aircraft for its low-cost unit kulula.com.
ATI previously reported Comair, a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] franchise operation, tentatively signed for the aircraft in February 2010, at which point the carrier said deliveries would stretch between 2012-2015.

The aircraft will be fitted with the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Sky Interior, along with the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]-7BE engine and external aerodynamic refinements to deliver a 2% fuel burn improvement over today's Next Generation 737.

Boeing says the order was booked previously into the backlog, but was attributed to an unidentified customer.
kulula.com currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of 13 737s, including three 737-800 aircraft.
Additionally, Comair says it is purchasing Boeing's Maintenance Performance Toolbox, which the airframer says "improves an airline's fleet efficiency by integrating manufacturer and customer documentation, use of intelligent graphics, cross-document searching and linking aircraft fault data to specific maintenance actions".
Boeing adds the system also provides structural repair history for each airframe "while reducing the time needed to find tail-specific technical information in time-critical situations, such as line maintenance troubleshooting and dispatch".
The airframer says the order is valued at $646 million at current list prices.
