First flight of the advanced derivative was on February 24, 1984, and the first delivery to US Air came on November 28, 1984. However, the joint leadoff customer Southwest Airlines placed the first 737-300 into passenger service on December 7, 1984. Design changes resulted in lower operating costs and a reduction in fuel burn up to 30% less than the 737-200.BI226478 (k47737)Maximum size:2400px × 3000px (~20 MB)8.0in × 10.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1980s-737 family-737-300-airplanes-commercial-commercial passenger planes-day-factories-full body views-gray color-ground shots-head on views-interiors-jets-manufacturing-monoplanes-out of production-photos-Renton Assembly Plant-several/groups-silver color-stairs, lifts and ladders-structural systems-text-unpainted-viewed from above-yellowRelated Photo/Videos:View All
