Out of Production
The 737-600 was the runt of Boeing's Next Generation 737 line, launched with SAS as sole first buyer and airborne in 1998. A single pair of CFM56-7B20 engines seats 110 in usual service, up to 149 at maximum, and carries the jet about 5,648 km at roughly 834 km/h. It measures 31.24 metres in length against a 34.32-metre wing and grosses as much as 66,000 kg for a 12,500-metre ceiling, with a 20.4-cubic-metre hold. A modernised flight deck sharpened its economics, yet it sold the fewest of any Next Generation model and left production. Flight plans list it as B736.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Boeing 737-600 typically seats 110 passengers in a two-class configuration. In a single-class layout, it can carry up to 130 passengers. At 31.2 m, it is the shortest member of the 737 Next Generation family. The cabin uses the standard 737 3-3 arrangement in a 3.54 m wide cabin with the Boeing Sky Interior on later deliveries.
The Boeing 737-600 has a maximum range of approximately 5,648 km (3,050 nautical miles). It uses two CFM56-7B18 engines, the lowest-thrust variant in the 737 NG engine family. Despite its small size, the range is sufficient for most European and domestic routes. The 737-600 replaced the 737-500 in the Boeing lineup.
The 737-700 carries 16 more passengers (126 vs 110 in two-class) with a 2.4 m longer fuselage, while sharing the same wing, engines, and cockpit. The 737-700 offers better per-seat economics, which explains why it outsold the 737-600 by a factor of 14 (1,128 vs 69 deliveries). The 737-600's only advantage was lower total fuel burn per flight, making it suited for very thin routes.
The 737-600 shares the 737 NG family features including blended winglets (optional), CFM56-7B engines, and modern cockpit. It is the shortest NG variant and appears compact, especially when parked next to a 737-800 or -900ER. With only 69 built, it is extremely rare. Scandinavian Airlines was the largest operator, and the type was almost exclusively used by European carriers.
The 737-600 is the least successful variant of the 737 NG family with only 69 deliveries, making it the rarest modern 737 variant. Airlines in the 100-130 seat segment generally preferred either the larger 737-700 for better per-seat economics or smaller regional jets like the Embraer E-Jet family. Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) was the launch customer and largest operator, using the type on Nordic routes. The 737-600 had no direct MAX replacement, as Boeing focused the MAX program on larger variants.
