Boeing 737 Model Differences

Featured Replies

I Have been following the development of the PMDG 737 and have the 600 and 700 versions. In the real world, what is the big differences between these variants? I pulled up the specs on the Boeing website and surprisingly, all seem to have the same range, around 3000 miles. Are any used on cross-Atlantic or Pacific routes such as from the U.S. to Europe or Hawaii? Thanks.

Aloha Airlines uses a 737-700 to fly from Oakland to the Hawaiian islands. They fly there 4 times a week.The -700 has a higher maximum takeoff-weight than the -600. The -700 can also carry 16 more passengers.

Thanks ThrottleUp, I forgot to include the 800 and 900 in my post. how are these different? Regards, Tom

The BBJ is the only version with enough range for long haul. I think Privatair uses one that has been fitted with about 40 seats for trips between germany and New York.-

The -800 & -900 are identical in everyway except that the -800:-is shorter by about 9 feet-can fly 224 nautical miles further-carries 280 cu ft less cargo Both the -800 & -900 carry the same number of passengers (189) - even though the -900 is longer. This is to meet the regulations for emergency evacuation.BBJ---737-700 airframe + 737-800's stronger wing, centre section & landing gear + extra fuel tanks = Boeing Business Jet
