Swiss operator Comlux has placed an order for two BBJ MAX 8s; its first Boeing order having operated a varied fleet of long-haul jets for some time.

“The two BBJ MAX 8s are a great addition to the Comlux fleet because they give our customers the flexibility to fly farther and more comfortably thanks to the lower cabin altitude,” says Comlux president and ceo Richard Gaona.

“The long-range capability of the MAX 8 is critical to all of our customers, but especially our Middle East customers who often use Comlux aircraft for long-haul flights.”

The two aircraft will be outfitted with custom interiors at Comlux America, a certified BBJ completion centre.
