Background
The Boeing 737-900ER is an extended range version of the
737-900. The 737-900 was a stretched version of the 737-800
but was limited in passenger capacity by the number of exits.
Production of the 737-900 ran just five years from 2001 to 2005.
The 737-900ER incorporated additional emergency exit doors and
a flat rear pressure bulkhead that permitted increased interior
accommodations up to 180 passengers in a typical two-class
configuration or up to 215 passengers in a single-class configuration. The 737-900ER has the same external dimensions as the
737-900 but features an increased maximum takeoff weight of
187,700 pounds, strengthened landing gear and wing structures,
up to two optional auxiliary fuel tanks, and winglets. With the
installation of two auxiliary fuel tanks and winglets, the 737-900ER
can carry 180 passengers up to 3,265 nautical miles.
The 737-900ER entered service in 2007 with Lion Air and is
still in production with a healthy backlog of almost 300 units.
As of April 2014, there were 241 active aircraft in service with
15 operators. In terms of operators, United Airlines and Lion
Air account for 65 percent of the active fleet. When divided by
region, North America and the Pacific Rim contain 89 percent
of the active aircraft, Europe and Asia make up 10 percent and
the remaining 1 percent is held in the Middle East. According to
Airfax, as of June 2014, there have been no Boeing 737-900ER
aircraft available for sale or lease since August 2013.
The aircraft has not seen as much interest from operators who
have moved toward larger gauge equipment as its competitor, the
A321. However, a relatively small operator base with a few large
operators, such as United and Lion Air, does provide isolation from
ongoing volatility provided they remain healthy in the mediumterm. The long‑term outlook will be shaped by the presumed success of the 737 MAX. While not a true clean sheet replacement,
the modified variant represents a break in production and the
last of the 737-900ERs to be manufactured will suffer the most
from a value perspective. However, no technical obsolescence
is expected for the near future as result of the 737 MAX entry
into service.

The short- to mid-term outlook for the 737-900ER is favorable,
even prior to the Entry Into Service (EIS) of the 737 MAX variants.
