Boeing appears to finally drop 737-600

Boeing has updated its price list and for the first time, the price for the 737-600 is missing. Boeing hasn’t sold a 737-600 since 2005. In June, Boeing told us the model was still being offered. Not any more, apparently. We’ve sent an inquiry to Boeing for an official statement.

Update, 12:30pm: Boeing gave us this statement at 0900 but we’ve been away from the computer until now:

• Should customers request to order a Next-Generation 737-600, BCA Sales will work with the customer to meet their requirements.

• The Next-Generation 737-600 model will continue to be supported by the 737 Program.

We note that this statement doesn’t really confirm or deny the discontinuation of the 737-600 offering.

Update, 3:45pm: Linda Lee, the 737 program spokesperson, got back to us with this slightly expanded response from that offered by a non-program spokesman earlier today. Lee said:

Should customers request to order a Next-Generation 737-600, Commercial Airplanes Sales Teams will work with the customer to meet their requirements.

As you probably have checked on our Orders & Deliveries website, we don’t have any orders for the Next-Generation 737-600s in the order stream. Our families of Next-Generation 737-700/-800/-900ER (Extended Range) are meeting the requirements of our customers worldwide.

A fair interpretation is that Boeing would steer the customer to the other 737-Series airplanes.
