Boeing reached a record for year-to-date 737 deliveries with today’s delivery of the 377th Next-Generation 737. The delivery of the airplane, a 737-900ER (Extended Range) with Boeing Sky Interior for United Airlines, topped the previous record of 376 deliveries set in 2010.
In October, the 737 also broke its own record for net orders in a single year when it topped the 2007 record of 846 orders. Net year-to-date orders for the Next-Generation 737 and 737 MAX total 1,031 airplanes.
The Boeing 737 is a twin-engine narrow-body jet originally put into flight in 1968.
This also is the first time in the single-aisle jetliner’s history that it has logged more than 1,000 orders in a single year.
