Sun Country Airlines, headquartered in Minnesota, began its operations in 1983. Over the years, it has carved a niche for itself with its dedication to delivering comfortable and affordable flights to a wide range of destinations, from sunny leisure spots to bustling urban hubs. This special 737-800, with its eye-catching 40 Years of Flight livery, serves as a flying testament to the airline's long and successful journey in the aviation industry.
In the early 1990s, Boeing designed an aircraft that would replace older models of its popular 737 jetliner. On June 29, 1993, Boeing launched the 737-X program after receiving an order from Southwest Airlines for 63 aircraft. This program launch resulted in the birth of the 737 Next Generation (737NG) family of aircraft and included four different 737 variants: the –600, -700, -800 and –900. The Next Generation 737s have larger wings, more powerful engines, and can fly longer range routes with higher payloads than older 737 model aircraft.
The 737-700 was the first 737 variant to enter production, and the first delivery was made to Southwest in December 1997. On September 5, 1994, the 737-800 was launched, and the first aircraft was delivered to Hapag-Lloyd of Germany in the spring of 1998. The 737–800 is a longer version of the 737–700 and can carry up to 189 passengers in single class accommodation.
SAS became the launch customer of the 737-600, the smallest of the Next Generation family, with seating for 110 to 132 passengers. The first aircraft was delivered to SAS in the third quarter of 1998. The 737-900 is the longest version of the 737NG family and was launched on November 10, 1997, with an order from Alaska Airlines. Boeing subsequently introduced the 737-900ER, which offers greater range and a higher payload capacity than the 737-900.
The livery on this aircraft encapsulates the spirit of celebration, with striking graphics that acknowledge Sun Country's 40 years of service. It's not just an aircraft; it's a flying tribute to the dedication and loyalty of both the airline and its passengers. This special Boeing 737-800 model brings this remarkable piece of aviation history to your collection, a testament to Sun Country's 40 years of connecting people to the places they love.
