Delta To Order 100 Boeing 737-900
Delta Air Lines will announce an order for 100 Boeing 737-900s tomorrow, according to several sources. Delta has been examining two potential procurements, one to replace 757s, and another to replace DC-9s. This announcement is the first of the two competitions to be decided. Boeing won the competition on two factors — price and the availability of early delivery positions. (airinsight.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
ok so will they be -900's or -900er's?
737-900s cannot replace 757-200 range and 757-300 capacity.
No, but they can come close and at a much less cost per seat mile.
Aaaand a much newer aircraft technology speaking.

Personally, I'll be happy to see those dilapidated DC9/MD80/MD90 birds out of there. Whoever it was at McDonnel-Douglass that decided a 2-3 seating arrangement was a good idea was off his rocker. And I'll shed no tears over the departure of the 757 either. Very uncomfortable aircraft on a long x-country.
Boeing doesnt make 900s anymore, only 900ERs.
