Now, Sriwijaya Air has 9 Boeing 737-300 and 12 Boeing 737-500 aircraft in service. They are the remains Boeing 737 Classic aircraft in Sriwijaya Air. Maybe, they also have no longer time in Sriwijaya Air’s fleet. The other aircraft are 12 Boeing 737-800 aircraft and 2 Boeing 737-900ER aircraft. Now, Sriwijaya Air ordered more Boeing 737 New Generation and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to replace it remains Boeing 737 Classic aircraft. Goodbye The Joy, thank you for flying people and flying the last Sriwijaya Air’s Boeing 737-400 aircraft service!
