...but increasing the MTOW (for the first time) will cost you money. Boeing will apply a formula that reflects the estimated life remaining over which the benefits of the weight increase will be used, and the amount of the increase. On B737-200s to go from 54,204 kgs to 55,111 (I think) cost me about $25k per ship - because they were already old.
