Configured to accommodate 156 passengers in a two-class layout comprising 12 business class and 144 economy class seats, the aircraft is powered by two CFM International LEAP-1B27 engines, offering improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and enhanced operational economics compared to previous-generation Boeing 737 variants.
