Boeing - B737-900 - Narrow body Series of Aircraft
Celerity Asset Management specializes in the Boeing 737-NG aircraft, targeting the acquisition of B737-900s, concentrating on mid- to late-life aircraft, with few exceptions
B737-900 Series : The B737-900 is the largest-fuselage member of the B737- NG family, featuring seats arranged on a single aisle permitting up to six-abreast seating in a cabin below four meters (13 ft) of width. The aircraft shares the same cockpit and utilizes common flight controls and cabin management systems as other aircraft in the B737-NG class. This consistency makes life easier for pilots and cabin crew and allows them to focus on looking after passengers. Cockpit commonality reduces training, maintenance costs and maximize parts interoperability. The Typical B737-900 seating arrangement is 178 to 220 passengers with a maximum capacity of up to 230 travelers. Future cargo versions are being explored.

The Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 families have long been considered the workhorses of the global aviation sector. Airbus now holds 68 per cent share in the narrow-body aircraft market, off the back of Boeing’s 737 MAX crisis. During the peak production of the Boeing 737 NG and the Airbus ceo family, the market was split 50% / 50% between all aircraft variants of each family of aircraft.
Over 557 Boeing aircraft B737-900 NG have been produced as of 2019. The aircraft was built in passenger and extended range configurations. An estimated 452 B737-900NGs are still in operation.
