Accommodation

Flightcrew of two and typical 177 passengers in two classes, up to 189 in single class configuration.

Notes

Short to medium range airliner. Entered Commercial service in 2001. Largest model of the BOEING 737 next generation. All versions have more powerful and efficient engines, improved wings and tail sections and modernized cockpits. Stretched version of the BOEING 737-800 developed in order to compete with the AIRBUS A-321.
