Good evening everyone, I am writing this letter on behave of Sunrise Airlines to inform you that we have selected an aircraft for fleet. After careful consideration, we have chosen the Boeing 737-800 as the most suitable aircraft for our operation. We believe this aircraft is the best fit for our airline because of the service quality, operational success, and much more. The Boeing 737-800 is a narrow-body, twin-engine, short to medium-haul aircraft, known for its impressive performance attributes. This aircraft typically accommodates around 160-190 passengers, which will allow us to take multiple passengers per leg. With a maximum range of approximately 3,850 nautical miles, the 737-800 offers flexibility for various route options. This will also give us the ability to add more routes as our airline grows. The aircraft fuel efficiency helps reduce operating costs and environmental impact, that was a huge selling point for me. Another selling point was the aircraft's safety record will enhance our airline's reputation and passenger confidence ( Boeing) . We will configure the aircraft as one class. Everyone will be considered in the economy class. However, the passenger is able to select their seats online before getting to the airport. This plane has the perfect configuration for our operation. Its fuel efficiency and maintenance record, the 737-800 helps control operational costs, promoting profitability. The route capability lets us do short legs when needed, and long legs, and can land at all the airports we operate in and out of. This plane will also allow for our airline to grow because future fleet expansion can benefit from commonality in training, maintenance, and spare parts, further enhancing cost-efficiency ( Boeing) . The Boeing 737-800 is well-suited for our mission of providing reliable and competitive air travel services on short to medium-haul routes. It is a strategic selection that ensures our airline's operational success and passenger satisfaction.
