Boeing Nearly Complete with 5000th 737
The Boeing company is celebrating a huge occasion this week as they complete their 5000th Boeing 737.  Today Boeing begins the final assembly of the 5,000th 737 in their manufacturing facility in Renton, Wash. The airplane, a 737-700 destined for Southwest Airlines, will be delivered next month. The wings and landing gear shown here are being joined to the 737-700 fuselage.

Last-stage assembly and interiors installation will begin once the airplane joins the moving assembly line. In December 2005, sales for the 737 surpassed 6,000. To date, 231 customers have ordered 6,099 of the single-aisle passenger jet, which Boeing has manufactured since 1967.
The newest members of the Boeing 737 family - - the 737-600/-700/-800/-900 models -- continue the 737's pre-eminence as the world's most popular and reliable commercial jet transport. The 737 family has won orders for more than 6,000 airplanes, which is more airplanes than The Boeing Company's biggest competitor has won for its entire product line since it began business.

The 737 - a short-to-medium-range airplane - is based on a key Boeing philosophy of delivering added value to airlines with reliability, simplicity and reduced operating and maintenance costs.

The Boeing family of aircraft, especially the 737 series, have been very valuable in allowing low cost carriers such as Southwest to streamline their fleet while allowing them to configure their aircraft to the best possible means. 

So far, Boeing has received nearly 6,000 orders for the Boeing 737 series.  Making this family of aircraft the best selling series.
