Recognition similarity

  • ICAO Code: B734

    Notes: Very similar to the Boeing 737-400 and 737-500. The 300 is slightly shorter than the 400 but longer than 500.

Accommodation

Flightcrew of two and typical 128 passengers in single class, up to 149 in high density configuration.

Notes

Short range airliner. In service since 1984. Initial member of second generation of Boeings 737 family (also named classic) with more powerful high bypass engines and improved aerodynamics. In order to secure ground clearance the CFM56 engines have flattened undersides. Stretched version 737-400 and shorter version 737-500. Production ceased in 1999 (2000 for the 400 model).

Alternative names

  • BOEING 737-300
