Why Low Cost Carriers Love The Boeing 737

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.

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]

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.

Not to mention the business among countries economics, USA will push some to buy boeing's instead of Europeans.

I like the 737 for short hops like LAX-SFO, DEN-ABQ. Just because the 737 and the 320 can go longer range doesn’t mean they should. These planes were made for short to medium missions. Not flying LAX-HNL or as in the 321 flying over the Atlantic!

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

[@NikonF5user]

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...

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

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+? That is an insane no. of aircraft! I am not going if it it is not Boeing!

[@mattrodger7097]

The article is misleading. LCCs use only one type of aircraft whether it be an A320 or a B737. This is for more efficient operations. A more useful comparison would be which one is more efficient, but that will be a harder task.

[@TimurBerk]

Turkish LCC Pegasus Airlines had Boeing-only fleet, consisting of B737-800 NGs. But in December 2012 they ordered 100 A320/A321 NEOs. After this decision to switch to Airbus fleet they leased some A320 CEOs. Since then leased Boeings gradually have left the fleet. Now Boeings constitute about 1/3 of the fleet. It was a wise decision to switch to Airbus. Note that European big 3 legacy airline groups haven't ordered any MAX aircraft yet.

[@greatlakesproductions]

What is interesting with this is that there are some Airlines operating both types. E.g. Turkish Airlines, how do they know for what route they use the A320 instead of a 737?

[@spongebubatz]

That all has to do with how crews and so on are scheduled, there isn’t really one reason. My home airports sees the A321, A321neo, A330 (-200 and -300), 737-800 and MAX 8 and 9 of TK. Sometimes you’d see one aircraft type, or at least either a 737 or A321, for a week or a specific part of the season and not something like a mix

Saturday I flew an A321 from Pittsburgh to Denver, then a 737-900 from Denver to Santa Barbara, both on United, the aircraft quality, comfort, noise, finish, fit, squeaks and rattles was noticeably better on the Boeing aircraft.

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

Indigo Airlines in India is different....it uses A320

Indigo, Go Air all seems to be Using A320s, the video isn't entirely accurate as there are many LCCs who prefer the A320 too

[@owenmcalinden6461]

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.

[@mrintow]

Meanwhile, In Asia LCCs seem to use A320 family especially Airasia.

[@RianY2K]

I think LCC more love to Airbus aircraft rather than Boeing. Take a look for Airbus A320 Neo and A220, or A330 Neo

[@billyponsonby]

Your 0:23 banner ‘Lost Cost….’ more often the case?

[@FeRnAnDo1538]

Spirit, Frontier, Sky, Viva, JetSmart, Vueling, Eurowings and others prefer the A320 family. Jetblue loves the A320 and A220 family. Air Baltic is engaged with the A220 family.

The 737 is nothing more than a 60year old plane. 320 fam is better

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

[@johnny_eth]

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

[@Crazyuncle1]

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]

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]

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 )

[@alfredquintano7788]

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 ...

[@grahamturner8467]

You did not say why the 737 was preferred by these LCCs over other types. A rather one sided piece.

[@stevenholt1867]

Also Jet2. Passengers packed like sardines.

[@markiangooley]

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.
