Description: The Boeing 737 is a popular, twin-engine, short- to medium-range airplane renowned by its reliability, simplicity and low maintenance and operating costs. The first 737, a 737-100 model, was delivered to Lufthansa in 1968. Since then, more than 5,200 737s have been ordered by airlines all over the world.

Wing tip extensions, called Winglets, have been added to the Next Generation 737 wing layout to extend range, increase payload and to save fuel. Winglets have been applied only to 737-700 and 737-800 models. Each Winglet is 8-ft long (2.44 meters) and 4-ft (1.22 meters) in width.

The Boeing 737-700 airplane has the same fuselage as the 737-300 and fitted with new wing, tail sections and stabilizer. It can carry from 126 to 149 passengers in a two-class or one-class arrangement. It is powered by two fuel efficient and low noise CFM56-7 engines and travels at a cruise speed of Mach 0.785 for over 3,300 nautical miles.

The Boeing 737-700ER airplane is a variant of Boeing 737-700 airliner inspired on the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). 737-700ER features the longest range capability of any 737 family aircraft member produced so far to cover new nonstop routes. Based upon 737-700 model fuselage, the 737-700ER will also feature 737-800's wings and landing gear. With up to nine optional auxiliary fuel tanks and optional Blended Winglets the Boeing 737-700ER would be able to fly routes of 5,510 nautical miles (10,000+ km).

ANA (All Nippon Airways) was the launch customer converting two 737-700 airplanes from a previous order to the newest variant. ANA was expected to take delivery of its first 737-700ER in early 2007. The contract modification and launch announcement for the 737-700ER model was made on 31 January 2006.
