Boeing 737-800
The Boeing 737-800 is a cornerstone of modern commercial aviation, representing the best-selling variant of the 737 Next Generation (NG) family. It first flew on July 31, 1997, and entered service in April 1998 with Hapag-Lloyd Flug (now TUI fly Deutschland). Designed as a stretched version of the 737-700 and a direct replacement for the classic 737-400, the 737-800 offers significant improvements in fuel efficiency, range, and capacity. It typically seats between 162 and 189 passengers in a two-class or single-class configuration, making it a highly versatile aircraft for short-to-medium-haul routes. Its operational reliability and economic performance have made it a favorite among major airlines worldwide, including large operators like Southwest Airlines, Ryanair, American Airlines, and United Airlines.
