(Seattle, July 2, 2008) -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] this week delivered a Next-Generation 737-800 to Toronto-based Sunwing Airlines.

The new airplane will go into service immediately on the carrier's coast-to-coast domestic program and will serve Sunwing's routes to the U.S., Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico.
