Passengers will enjoy an in-flight entertainment system which will include audio and video on demand, roomier interior, better ambiance, higher ceiling and mood lighting.
The national carrier has placed an order for 55 such aircraft with Boeing and would take delivery of three more by year-end, said managing director and chief executive officer Tengku Datuk Seri Azmil Zahruddin.
"We are proud to announce that we will be the first full service airline in the world to operate the B737-800 with the new Boeing Skyline Interior," he said at a press conference after taking delivery of the new B737-800 Aircraft at the Skypark Airport here Monday.
The B737-800, with up to six hours flight time, left Boeing in Seattle, United States, on Oct 29 on a three-day multi-journey, stopping at Hawaii, Marshall Islands and Guam before arriving at Skypark, Subang.
The 160-seater aircraft sports a new dynamic livery with red and blue lines representing Malaysia Airlines' corporate colours.
"The dynamic livery epitomises our determined spirit to provide Malaysian hospitality to our passengers," he said.
MAS has also ordered twenty-five A330-300 and six A380 aircraft.
It is expected to take delivery of the first A330-300 aircraft next year
