The Boeing 737 is the most ordered and most produced passenger aircraft in aviation history. According to current data, over 19,000 units of all 737 versions have been ordered, and over 9,300 machines have already been delivered.

The aeroplane is so widespread that at any given moment around 2,900 Boeing 737s are in the air, carrying nearly half a million passengers at the same time. Statistically, every 1.5 seconds another Boeing 737 takes off or lands somewhere in the world — no other passenger aircraft achieves such figures.

The Boeing 737-800, part of the Next Generation (NG) series, took to the skies for the first time on 31 July 1997 from Renton Airport in Washington State. The model quickly became one of the mainstays of the global fleet — in the United States alone, it operates over 1.15 million flights a year, carrying more than 154 million passengers and achieving an average load factor of 80%.

The 737-800 is valued for:

• high reliability,
• economic fuel consumption,
• stable performance and flight comfort,
• operational flexibility on short and medium-haul routes,
• huge availability of parts and service worldwide.

It is precisely this version — the Boeing 737-800 — that can be found at AirPoint Warsaw and AirPoint Katowice, where you can take the controls of a full-scale cockpit and experience a realistic flight in one of the most recognisable aircraft in aviation history.
