Boeing 737-900

The 737-900 is the 737-800 stretched by 96 inches, with a 54-inch plug ahead of the wing and a 42-inch plug behind it, for a length of 138 ft 2 in. Boeing's planning layout seats 177 in two classes. It kept the 737-800's exits, which held it to 189 passengers in economy only; the later 737-900ER added a pair of exits to carry more. Two CFM56-7B engines power it, and it is filed under the same ICAO code as the 737-900ER.
