What Are the Extra Numbers?

Featured Replies

I see Boeing 737s in magazines and on Airliner.net and many times they have different designators at the end of the type, like 737-883, 737-8Q8 or 737-8JP.I was wondering what these mean and if there is somewhere that shows what all of these are for the 737?

Customer numbers/codes showing customer options.For instance, Qantas has 737-838s. They opt for particular engines, seat configurations, etc. "38" is the Customer code.>>>Here's the best list.<<<

So if I understand that list correctly, a 747-400 from Lufthansa will be a 747-430. Is that correct?

To be completely accurate, the customer code represents the airline (or leasing company, etc) that ordered that specific aircraft. This code stays with the aircraft wherever it goes. Example: N699SW is a 737-3Y0 (ordered by Guinnes Peat Aviation) but today is operated by Southwest. I've actually been on this particular 73, and noticed the original registration was still there above the door. I forgot what it was exactly, but it was an Irish reg (EI-xxx)

I wonder if there's a Qantas pilot's cap hanging in the cockpit somewhere on the QF livery? Hahaha, just kidding!!!

However the aircraft titles with the vessel's name appear to be the original model all the time with Lufthansa - Boeing 747-400Frankfurt am Main
