The 737-800 is an older model. Some airlines were shifting to the 737-Max, a newer narrow-body plane. The 737-Max was temporarily grounded worldwide after two of them crashed nearly four years ago.
But in full disclosure, even with an extra fuel tank and 415 nautical miles greater range, the Boeing airplane is lighter. Here are the numbers behind the chart: A320/CFM (150 seats): 42,890. 737-800 (162 seats): 41,500. A321/CFM/1 aux tank (183 seats): 49,080 kg (design range = 2,635 nmi)
Aviation Partners Boeing, a joint venture between Aviation Partners and Boeing, lists prices of around $1,000,000 for the retrofit of a Boeing 737. That's a lot of money, but in an industry where fuel efficiencies are key, this is a capital expense that will pay off over the medium to long haul.
The maximum takeoff weight for the 737 MAX 8 is 182,200 lb (82,600 kg). The even longer 737 MAX 9 replaces the 737-900 and competes directly with the Airbus A321neo. It has a range of 3,550 nmi / 4,085 miles / 6,575 km and a maximum takeoff weight of 194,700 lb (88,300 kg). The 737 MAX 9 in Boeing livery. Photo: Flickr.
Even though there is fleet inconsistency between the Max-8 and Max-9 there is consistency between the Max-8 and 737-800 which is the 1:1 replacement. If you are scheduled for UAs smallest 737 you can count on personal seatback entertainment.
With the -700 you’re paying 100% more for an airplane that is 7% longer. Everything else is pretty much the same. -600 was the direct replacement to the 737-500, which itself was a direct replacement to the 737-200. Lots of opportunities to simulate classic ops with fictional liveries (tons on flightsim.to already).
