Boeing 737-300

The Boeing 737-300 is a second-generation and is the first of the three members (standard -300, stretched -400 and shortened -500) with CFM International CFM56 engines (jointly developed by General Electric and SNECMA). Despite the all new engines and the 2,64 meter fuselage stretch, the 737-300 retains 80% airframe spares commonality and shares the same ground handling equipment with the 737-200. The 737-300, -400 and -500 have an early generation EFIS flight deck (with four color CRT screens). All three second generation 737 models share extensive systems and structure commonality, and a common aircrew type rating.
