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 (

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

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.
