Transavia starts phasing out Boeing 737 with photo campaign
Transavia is starting to phase out the Boeing 737, a historic moment in the modernization of the fleet. By 2030, the entire Boeing 737 fleet will have been replaced by the Airbus A321neo and Airbus A320neo, which are quieter and more economical. To mark the farewell of the iconic Boeing, Transavia is organizing a special photo campaign.
The first Boeing 737 to leave Transavia is a Boeing 737-700 with registration PH-XRY. This aircraft still flies in an old livery, also known as the 'cigar band'. On November 3, this aircraft will perform its very last commercial flight. That is exactly 321 days after Transavia took delivery of the first Airbus A321neo. The aircraft will be sold to Aircraft End-of-Life Solution (AELS) at Twente Airport, where it will be dismantled in a sustainable manner and usable parts will be sold for reuse or recycling.
A rich history
The Boeing 737 has played an essential role in Transavia's success for over 50 years. On 17 May 1974, the first Boeing 737-200, with registration PH-TVC, arrived in Amsterdam from Seattle. This marked the beginning of a new chapter. By phasing out the Boeing 737, Transavia is saying goodbye to an iconic era and setting a course for a quieter and more economical future.
#ByePHXRY photo campaign
To honor the iconic Boeing for its years of service, Transavia is organizing a photo campaign. The airline invites everyone – from plane spotters to passengers – to share their best photo of the PH-XRY on Instagram with the hashtag #ByePHXRY. The first 100 participants who meet the campaign conditions will receive a very special souvenir: a real piece of the PH-XRY!
