British Airways and Westjet

[Greg87]

In regards to the 737 talk, with the 737-900 under development, that could give Westjet some range, I seem to remember a 3000 nm range and something like 200 pax, I'll try and find the link.

Ok, got the link,

- Carries 26 more passengers than the 737-900,up to 215 passengers in a single-class configuration
-Flies about 500 nautical miles farther, up to 3,200 nm (5,925 km)
-Weighs more than 10,000 pounds (4,536 kgs) less than the A321.
-Has lower operating costs than the A321; about 9 percent lower per trip, and 7 percent lower per seat.

Anyone know if Westjet has any plans to get some of them?

No. The 900ER is still less range than the -700.



However:

http://boeing.com/commercial/737family/ ... facts.html

- Flies up to 2,145 nautical miles farther than a 737-700
- Capable of trans-oceanic flights with the maximum range of 5,510 nautical miles (10,200 km)

These might be an option, only if we can get the roof-rack option with a big-assed Yakima cargo box for the bags that would be bumped due to the 9 aux tanks.
