The Aircraft Replacing The Iconic Boeing 737-800

Boeing built 4,991 737-800s, making it the most-produced variant of the most-produced commercial jet in history. Its replacement is the MAX 8, which Boeing positions as the versatile model of the 737 MAX family and markets as delivering roughly 20% lower fuel use and CO2 emissions than the aircraft it replaces. Capacity is what makes it a direct successor. The MAX 8 seats roughly 162 to 189 passengers, depending on configuration, the same range airlines configured the 737-800 across, allowing a carrier to swap airframes without redesigning its network.
