Lufthansa phases out last Boeing 737

Lufthansa has phased out its last Boeing 737 on October 29 after completing a flight from Milan to Frankfurt. The German airline’s last aircraft, a 737-300, marks a historical move as the Boeing twin-engine narrow body has been in service for nearly 50 years. Lufthansa became the launch customer for the type February 19, 1965 when it ordered 22 737-100s. The first scheduled flights were domestic. The original Lufthansa 737-100 fleet operated 643.048 hours and made 836.446 takeoffs and landings before it was phased out February 25, 1982. Lufthansa had a total of 157 Boeing 737s in service over five decades, including the variants 737-100, 200, 200C, 300, 300 QC (quick change), 400 and 500. In the 1990s, up to 120 737s at one time had been in service with Lufthansa. The Lufthansa 737 fleet completed nearly 5.5 million landings. As of July 2016, Boeing said the 737 had amassed a total of nearly 13.500 orders worldwide. Lufthansa is replacing its 737s with an all-Airbus A320 family fleet.
