Story: |
The 737-800 is one of the
most successful aircraft to date, famous for it's reliability and
efficiency. The 737 was Boeing's contribution to the growing narrow
aisle aircraft in the late 60's, the first flight was in 1968.
Since then thousands of 737 has been produced, and the "New
Generation series" of 737's was launched in 1993 and since then the
Boeing 737-800 has became the bestseller.
Ryanair introduced the 737-800 in 1998 and has since then rapidly
expanded it's fleet to over 166 aircraft, by only having one
aircraft type in it's fleet it has reduced it's operating costs.
Ryanair has installed fuel saving and performance enhancing winglets
on all it's 737-800 aircraft.
The 737 is currently being operated by more than 500 airlines
worldwide, with over 8000 aircraft ordered, over 5000 delivered, and
over 4500 still in service, at any given time there are over 1,250
airborne worldwide. On average, somewhere in the world, a 737
takes off or lands every five seconds (source: Wikipedia) |
