A Boeing 737-800 holiday flight returns to Aberdeen after the passengers had enjoyed a break in the Mediterranean sun.
The 737-800 seats 162 passengers in a two-class layout or 189 passengers in a one-class layout. It competes with the Airbus A320. It burns 850 US gallons (3,200 L) of jet fuel per hour—about 80 percent of the fuel used by an MD-80 on a comparable flight, even while carrying more passengers than the latter.[34] According to the Airline Monitor, an industry publication, a 737-800 burns US gallons ( L) of fuel per seat per hour.[35] The 737−800 was launched by Hapag-Lloyd Flug (now TUIfly) in 1994 and entered service in 1998. In 2011, United Airlines— flying a Boeing 737-800 from Houston to Chicago—operated the first commercial flight powered by a blend of algae-derived biofuel and traditional jet fuel to reduce its carbon footprint. In February 2016, Boeing launched a passenger-to-freighter conversion program, with the aircraft designated the 737-800BCF (for Boeing Converted Freighter). Boeing started the program with orders for 55 conversions, with the first converted aircraft due to be delivered in late 2017
