B737-900 Continental History:

Boeing later introduced the 737-900, the longest variant to date. The 737-900 retains the same exit configuration of the 737-800, seating capacity is limited to 177 seats in two classes and it also retains the MTOW and fuel capacity as the 737-800, trading range for payload.

The newest member of the Next Generation 737 airplane family is the Boeing 737-900ER. It is a short-to-medium-range twinjet that increases the capability of the Next-Generation 737 family. The 737-900 was launched on July 18, 2005 with an order for 30 airplanes from Indonesia's Lion Air. Its first delivery to Lion air is scheduled on 2007. Compared to the older 737-900, the 737-900ER can carry 26 more passengers and fly about 500 nautical miles farther.

The 737-900 features a dual paint scheme that combines the Lion Air lion on the vertical stabilizer and the Boeing livery colors on the fuselage. It is also powered by CFM56-7 engines produced by CFMI. The engines complied with the strict international noise restrictions.

The 737-900 incorporates the same advanced-technology wing design that helps increase fuel capacity and efficiency. It also shares the same performance attributes of the other Next-Generation 737 models such as reliability, low maintenance and operating costs and state-of-the-art flight deck systems such as Head-Up Display (HUD), Global Positioning Landing System and Vertical Situation Display.

By 2013, Lion Air will be ordering 122 737-900ERs to be delivered.
