*Orders and deliveries are as of December 31, 2015
The Boeing 737 is the world’s best-selling family
of commercial jetliners. Today’s Next-Generation
737-700, -800 and -900ER models incorporate
the latest advanced technology and design
features that improve fuel efficiency and reduce
operating costs while delivering superior passen-
ger satisfaction. The 5,000th Next-Generation
737 was delivered in mid-2014. The Next-
Generation 737 offers the best on-time schedule
performance in the industry. It spans the entire
126- to 220-seat market with ranges of more
than 3,000 nautical miles (5,500 kilometers). This
flexibility gives operators the ability to respond
effectively to market needs. The 737 family also
includes four models of Boeing Business Jets —
derivatives of the Next-Generation 737-700,
737-700 Convertible, 737-800 and 737-900ER.
The 737 factory in Renton, Washington, achieved
a sustained production rate of 42 airplanes a
month in 2014. Rate increases are targeted for
47 airplanes a month in 2017, 52 in 2018 and 57
in 2019.
Launched in August 2011, the 737 MAX is a
family of airplanes that builds on the strengths of
the Next-Generation 737. The family includes the
737 MAX 7, MAX 8, MAX 9 and MAX 200. It also
includes the Boeing Business Jets MAX 8 and
MAX 9 models. The 737 MAX will be 14 percent
more fuel efficient than today’s most efficient
Next-Generation 737s and 20 percent more
fuel efficient than the original Next-Generation
737s when they entered service. With new CFM
International LEAP-1B engines, a more efficient
structural design, advanced technology winglets
and lower maintenance requirements, the
737 MAX 8 will cost 8 percent per seat less to
operate than the A320neo. Every 737 MAX will
be fitted with the 737 Boeing Sky Interior, giving
passengers a more spacious cabin, overhead
bins that disappear into the ceiling while carrying
more luggage, and soothing LED lighting. Since
its launch, the 737 MAX has logged nearly 3,100
orders from airlines and leasing customers world-
wide. The first airplane rolled out of the factory on
time in December 2015. First flight is planned for
2016 and first delivery in 2017.

The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental
The Boeing 747-8 Freighter
The 747-8 Intercontinental and the 747-8 Freighter
are the latest generation airplanes in Boeing’s 747
family. The airplanes feature new wings with raked
wingtips and more fuel-efficient engines than
those on the 747-400. The 747-8 Freighter was
certified in August 2011 and first delivery followed
in October. The Freighter carries 16 percent more
cargo volume than the 747-400 Freighter and is
the industry’s only nose-cargo-loading jet. The
747-8 Intercontinental is offered as a Boeing
Business Jets aircraft or a passenger plane. The
interior of the passenger model is inspired by the
Boeing 787 Dreamliner™, including a sculpted
ceiling, LED dynamic lighting, larger bins and
a new staircase design. The Intercontinental
was certified in 2011 and first delivery was in
February 2012. The Intercontinental is the only
airplane operating in the 400- to 500-seat market,
seating 410 passengers in a typical three-class
configuration (66 more than the 747-400). Both the
passenger and freighter variants of the 747-8 have
an increased maximum takeoff weight of 987,000
pounds (447,700 kilograms) and represent a new
benchmark in fuel efficiency and noise reduction,
allowing airlines to lower fuel costs and fly into
more airports at more times of the day. With
18 percent fewer carbon emissions and 30 percent
less noise, the 747-8 is cleaner and quieter than
the 747-400. The 747-8s in service are performing
well with the highest dispatch reliability in the
airplane’s history.

The Boeing 767 Freighter
767-2C
The 767 Freighter shares all the advancements
in avionics, aerodynamics, materials and
propulsion that contribute to the success of
the 767-300ER passenger airplane. Excellent
fuel efficiency, operational flexibility, low noise
levels and an all-digital flight deck allow the
767 Freighter to support time-critical cargo
schedules even at airports with stringent noise
and emissions standards. Also available is the
767-2C, a new commercial freighter based on
the 767-200ER. The 767-2Cs will be provisioned
commercial baseline airplanes modified into
KC-46A tankers for the U.S. Air Force and the
Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
