Luxair инвестирует более 1 млрд евро в полную замену флота на Boeing 737 MAX к середине 2030-х

Luxair (LG, Luxembourg) says it will invest more than EUR1 billion euros (USD1.2 billion) to replace its entire fleet by the mid-2030s, excluding aircraft newly delivered, as part of a fleet renewal centred on the B737 MAX family. Luxembourg's Chronicle newspaper reported that this was announced by CEO Gilles Feith on August 28, 2026, when the carrier unveiled its first two new company-owned B737-8s at Luxembourg. They are LX-LBC (msn 68935) and LX-LBD (msn 68936), according to ch-aviation data. The narrowbodies are the first deliveries under an order for eight B737-8s, with six more due for delivery. Configured with 186 seats, they will enable Luxair to operate longer routes, including to destinations such as Cabo Verde and Senegal. Following its 2024 order for two B737-10 aircraft, Luxair announced at the Farnborough Air Show on July 21, 2026, that it had also converted two further options for B737-10 into firm orders for the type. Once all firm orders have been delivered, Luxair’s B737 fleet will comprise twelve aircraft: eight B737-8s and four B737-10s. According to the Chronicle, Feith said the B737-8 offers around 20% lower fuel burn than the aircraft it replaces, generating annual fuel savings of about EUR1.4 million (USD1.6 million) per aircraft while also cutting carbon emissions. Lower noise levels are another key factor, he added, given Luxembourg airport's proximity to the city. Luxembourg's mobility and public works minister, Yuriko Backes, described the fleet renewal as a major investment in the country's connectivity and welcomed its environmental benefits. Luxair currently operates a fleet of 25 aircraft, comprising three B737-700s, four B737-800s, four B737-8s (including the two new arrivals), ten DHC-8-Q400s, and four E190-E2s, according to ch-aviation data. - Type Scheduled Carrier - Base Luxembourg - Aircraft 25 - Destinations 103 - Routes 116 - Daily Flights 112
