From Ryanair to Southwest Airlines, low-cost carriers across the globe love the Boeing 737. It’s not uncommon to see the type being the sole aircraft in the fleet of these operators. Boeing’s VP of commercial marketing, Darren Hulst, spoke with Simple Flying about why the aircraft has been a favorite among LCCs across the globe.

Unfortunately, they were recently retired and replaced by 737-700s. A few other Canadian carriers still use the 737-200 though, mainly due the usefulness of the gravel kit.

It depends on where your located I guess.

It's kind of simple, the 737 has lower seat mile costs, which if you're a LLC and every penny counts matters. Still there are alot of LLCs using A320 family that make it work. Also history has alot to due with, fleet consistency is important for LLCs so if you traditionally use Airbus or Boeing you'll like stay loyal, a new brand just introduces operational and transitional expenses.

@sean_king 3 года назад

Exactly. The problem in the future, however, lies with the 737. What will happen to ryanair or southwest if time comes that the 737 be faced out. Its a 60 year old plane, and I wouldnt be surprised to see even more design problems with a re-engined 737 after the max

@santiagoalvarez7536 3 года назад

That's what I was about to say! In countries where there are a lot of market for the 737 (mainly due to historic presence) is therefore logical to choose that. But the 320 works perfect for a lot of airlines (in Latin/South America is very very strong, apart from Spirit, EasyJet or so to mention some). Not to mention the business among countries economics, USA will push some to buy boeing's instead of Europeans.

@NikonF5user 3 года назад

You do not really answer the question. 737s are older than a320s. More accurately put, when low cost carriers first began to realize they can maximize profit by having a fleet of the same medium-range aircraft, the Airbus a320 was still too new to have huge numbers of older used planes available for easy and affordable purchase. Therefore made more sense to go with the 737. Now, when these aircraft are being replaced, airlines are saving all of the numbers you mentioned in fuel and efficiency, but the same would have been true had airlines started with the 320. If Airbus had been making the 320 series in the late '70s and early to mid '80s, it's fair to say that more of these low-cost airlines would be utilizing those planes...

@spongebubatz 3 года назад

Your misconception is that airlines install the same seats on such flights, if that was true we’d see widebodies with a dense narrowbody-like configuration. That’s however not the case since most full service carriers tend to install seats with more leg room on their long haul narrowbodies. TAP for example installs the same seats on their A321LR as they do on their A330-900, so when seated you won’t notice a difference except the fuselage width off course

I have flown in a Boeing 737 200,s 500,s and the later NG 700 & 800 Models, but it is now quite an old lady and large operators like British Airways , Easy Jet & recently Jet 2 have all changed to the Airbus A.320 Family. I think Boeing has been most fortunate to have kept this Model which go,s back to the 60,s in production for so long but eventually it will have to be replaced with an Aircraft that is more up to date. We will have to see what happens with the latest Max 10 ? as the American Saftety Authority is wanting the Aircraft Safety Sytems brought up to date before allowing any production and Sales and that could take some time.

The 737 was the first small jet airliner that you could load pax, bag and fuel to max. Set the trim at 5,5 and flaps at 5 and take off! An ATR pilot asked me why BU (Braathens S.A.F.E. Of Norway, 1946-2005) did not fly the ATR on short routes in southern Norway. My answer was that when the 737 landed it could take off again in less than 1h and fly non stop to the Canary Islands. That is a 5,5h flight. No ATR can do that. That is why we love the 737! No job is to little, no job is to big. Lol! In 1972 they almost shut down the production. Thanks to SN and USAF that in total ordred 35-40 aircraft. That made the program for Boeing. Back then I think they made about 6-7 737s pr month. What was it before Covid? 50+?

My only recent experience of a Low Cost Carrier was with Jet2 on one of their 737-800s. While I still prefer the A320s cabin, the Jet2 experience was far better than I was expecting and I would use them again without hesitation. I was looking at the seat plans on a seating website, and according to them Both Ryanair and Jet2 offer the same standard seat pitch. However Ryanair offer a couple of inches more in their premium offering. As both have the same number of seats (189), how is this possible? I can only think that Ryanair have reduced some of their standard seat pitch enough to still be able to claim 30 inches when rounded up, yet free up enough to increase the pitch elsewhere

@thedpstraveller 3 года назад

if its more inches in its premium then I presume the normal economy is reduced to a much lower legroom? I might have misunderstood what you were asking but if I'm correct then thats what I would think

As if they could choose... You have two models to choose from so they get more of what they already have or from the manufacturer that can supply the planes on time. The end.

"100% sustainable aviation fuel" what does that mean?

@johnny_eth 3 года назад

Something about using bio fuels. Which are an environmental disaster.

@Crazyuncle1 3 года назад

Just a nice sounding name given to a pipe dream that doesn’t exist but it gives environmentalists something to talk about over a cup of Starbucks.

@spongebubatz 3 года назад

To make it simple it’s synthetic fuel made of carbon which is already in the atmosphere. With that you could achieve that at least no new carbon is emitted. I don’t know how suitable something like that is for aviation and even how far the development is

@tomknauss570 3 года назад

I work in water and metal reclamation, over the last 10 years, these claims of 100% sustainable only has an impressionable fortitude when you are allowed to incorporate...... carbon neutral offsets. (Pay to put scrubbers on coal burning smokestacks, efficiently blend ethanol into other fuel uses, plant trees or finance and subsidies smart meters and solar panels on peoples houses )

@woodduck2178 3 года назад

The only reason is because they have to operate a mid size jet and the 737 is one of the major ones.

Nr. 1 reason LLC's loves the 737 over the A320 is the available air stairs. Ryan air for example flies to a lot of airports without gates and jet bridges. At those airports they would have to pay big money to ground handlers for using their stairs. Ryan air just pops out the 737s onboard air stairs and saves big time!

@owenmcalinden6461 3 года назад

I have flown many times in both Boeing 737 and Airbus A300 series aircraft. There is no comparison. The Airbus is far more comfortable....quieter,roomier and much better landings experienced on the Airbus.The 737 lands with a jolt. There seems to be a definite swing towards Airbus types judging by the order books.

i flew swoop from winnipeg kelowna twice, customer service is okay, (mind u i didnt require any customer service) they arent overly nice but arent rude, i had no issues.. i never flown before and they are the first airline i flown on, still scared of and hate flying... not their fault obviously... kelowna landing seem to be hard af, while winnipeg landings much softer and less scary, im guessing cause of winnipeg's longer runway length.. and maybe gusting winds between hills in kelowna..

@alfredquintano7788 3 года назад

Conversely ... Why do Legacy/Network/Full Service carriers prefer the A320 family??? One important reason is that the wider fuselage of the Airbus narrow-body family accommodates more cargo including ULDs than the 737s. LCCs do not carry any cargo ... Another more recent reason is that the capital cost of a new B737 Max is now almost half that of an A320 since following the 2 year grounding Boeing couldn't even give away the Max for free ...

@markiangooley 3 года назад

For a few years I flew Southwest a lot, also AirTran. Lots of 737s. Nothing special, just fine really. Once I flew on Southwest, Reno to Tampa, with 2 or 3 stops, never getting off the 737 though everyone else did including all of the crew. Not horrible but not something I’d repeat, though easier now that I usually eat only one meal a day.
