Boeing 737-752

The Boeing 737‑752 is a member of the 737‑200 Advanced series, first delivered in the early 1970s as part of Boeing’s effort to replace the original 737‑100/200 models with a more capable, higher‑capacity version. Developed under the 737‑200 Advanced program, the 752 variant featured upgraded Pratt & Whitney JT8D‑7 engines, an improved wing design with leading‑edge slats and a larger horizontal stabilizer, and modernized avionics that allowed higher cruise speeds and better fuel efficiency. Its typical seating capacity ranges from 124 to 149 passengers in a single‑class configuration, with a maximum range of roughly 2,300 nautical miles, making it suitable for short‑ and medium‑haul routes.

The aircraft quickly became popular with airlines worldwide, especially in regional and low‑cost operations, because it combined the reliability of the original 737 platform with enhanced performance and lower operating costs. Over 400 units were built before production shifted to newer generations such as the 737‑300 Classic. The 737‑752’s success helped cement the 737 family as the best‑selling commercial jet series in history, influencing later designs and establishing Boeing’s dominance in the narrow‑body market for decades. It remained in service through the 1990s and early 2000s, demonstrating the durability of its design.
