Insights

Aviation History

The 737-800 is a core workhorse of global short-to-medium haul fleets and the most popular variant of the Boeing 737 Next Generation family.

Fleet Rarity

United operates a large fleet of 737-800s, but the Star Alliance livery is applied to only a few aircraft.

Record Flights

Commonly used on transcontinental US routes and some international flights; not notable for ultra-long records.

Safety & Events

Generally a safe and reliable model, with some incidents mostly unrelated to design.

Future Outlook

Still in active service, plans for gradual replacement as newer 737 MAX aircraft are delivered.
