Anyone flying Long haul with an 737Ng?
Hi guys,


I am wondering if there is someone out there flying long haul with the 737Ng.

I was recently going throught avherald and saw a news regarding a 737-800 flying from TER (lajes, in the Azores) to PUJ (Punta Cana, near Cuba).
This is an ETOPS segment of nearly 2500Nm, so I am impressed.

Is this really possible? Can they actually carry any pax? Are they using extra tanks, or is just the range at heavy MTOW simply that increadible?

Regards,
