Mauritania Airlines Orders Boeing 737-800 Next Generation

Boeing and Mauritania Airlines, the flag carrier of Mauritania, have finalized an order for one Next-Generation 737-800 airplane, valued at $96 million at current list prices.
The 737-800 is one of the best-selling versions of the highly successful Next-Generation 737 family. Mauritania Airlines’ new Boeing 737 will feature the Boeing Sky Interior, the 787 Dreamliner inspired cabin.
On board, passengers will enjoy a greater sense of spaciousness with decorative sculpted sidewalls, larger window reveals, LED mood lighting and larger pivot overhead stowage bins.
Based in Mauritania’s capital city Nouakchott, at Nouakchott-Oumtounsy International Airport, Mauritania Airlines was founded in 2010 and currently serves more than 10 destinations across Africa and Europe.
The Mauritanian flag-carrier currently operates a fleet which includes one Next-Generation 737-700 and two 737-500s.
