China Southern Airlines' B-1296
China Southern Airlines is taking delivery B-1296 (c/n 63266, l/n 7049) today. This 737-81B is making its delivery flight
from BFI as CSN1296, and will overnight at HNL.
Greetings, Working at Renton I have learned that Boeing has simplified the dizzying array of model numbers(reportedly under prodding from the FAA). In the past the model number depended upon the customer (737-790, 737-890, & 737-990/ER for Alaska; 737-832 & 737-932/ER for Delta) Now the only remaining models numbers in use are: 737-700WL, 737-800WL, 737-900ER, & 737-800A, the latter for conversion to a P-8. 737-7, 737-8, 737-9, & soon 737-10. 767-300ER, & 767-2C, the latter for conversion to a KC-46, not sure about the 767 Freighter, might be 767F 787-8, 787-9, & 787-10 777-200ER, 777-300ER, 777F, & 777-200LR 747-8F, I think No more slashes So B-1296 is actually a 737-800WL Cheers, Jonathan

No more slashes
So B-1296 is actually a 737-800WL

We still use the Boeing Customer Codes for the 737NGs, because our sources still use them as well.
