Insights

Aviation History

The Boeing 737-700 is part of the Next Generation (NG) series and has been a staple of short to medium-haul flights worldwide. SAS has operated a significant fleet of the -700, though these are being phased out in favor of more modern types.

Fleet Rarity

No longer a common sight in many major European carriers; SAS is retiring this type in favor of A320neo family.

Record Flights

Commonly operated on SAS intra-European routes and some longer legs but not typically associated with notable record flights.

Safety & Events

SAS 737-700s have had a generally trouble-free operational history.

Future Outlook

Many 737-700s are being retired or transferred to other airlines; SAS is moving to an all-Airbus fleet.
