Insights

Aviation History

The Boeing 737-800 is the best-selling variant of the 737 Next Generation series and forms the backbone of many low-cost carriers such as Ryanair.

Fleet Rarity

Not rare—Ryanair operates over 400 of this model, and thousands more are in service globally.

Record Flights

Not typically used for record flights; mainly used for dense, short- to medium-haul routes across Europe.

Safety & Events

Ryanair\'s 737-800 fleet has experienced a number of non-fatal incidents, mostly related to bird strikes and minor runway excursions, but is generally known for high utilization.

Future Outlook

Gradual phase-out expected in favor of Boeing 737 MAX in the coming decade.
