The 737-200 typically measures 30.53 m in length with a wingspan of 28.35 m and a height of 11.28 m, making it an ideal aircraft for short to medium-haul routes.
🇺🇸 About the Airline
US Airways was a major American airline that operated from 1937 until its merger with American Airlines in 2015. Metrojet was US Airways' short-lived low-cost carrier brand launched in 1998 to compete with Southwest Airlines, featuring simplified service and the eye-catching red livery. Though the Metrojet brand was discontinued in 2001, it remains a nostalgic favorite among aviation enthusiasts and collectors.
