The 5000th Next-Generation, Boeing 737 takes off

The Boeing 737 is the ‘work horse’ in the world of short and mid range air travel. Boeing has sold over 12,000 Boeing 737’s. The success of the 737 has now reached a new milestone, as Boeing has just rolled out its 5000th Next-Generation 737.

The Boeing 737 Next Generation, commonly abbreviated as Boeing 737NG, is the name given to the −600/-700/-800/-900 series of the Boeing 737 aircraft. It is the third generation derivative of the 737, and follows the 737 Classic (−300/-400/-500) series, which began production in the 1980s.

“This milestone is another testament to the popularity of our Next-Generation 737 and represents the confidence our customers have in the work of our team,” said Beverly Wyse, vice president and general manager, 737 program, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
