Sending this thread again as there appeared to be an error on intial thread with replies now showing. If members could respond again it would be appreciated.. I have a trip coming up soon on BA and notice they still operate 737-300's which are nearly 20 years old. I was surprised by this noting BA are a major world carrier. How reliable and well maintained would these aircraft be? What is the life cycle of a 737-300? Thanks.

I was told that BA's 733's and 735's were to get replaced by A319's soon.

This is my second reply to you so I hope this one gets through. Dont be afraid to fly on a BA 737-300 or any other type they fly as their aircraft are maintained to a very hig standard. The 733 is used extensivly around the world and has a lot of life left in them yet. Your right my young friend G-NIKO the 737 fleet will be replaced by both 319 and 320 types within the next few years.

All B737's will be replaced by 2010 since the 733 and 735 have already got replacements coming and the 734's wont be to much longer. It will be sad to see them go but this happens in aviation.

I can't remember exactly how I replied earlier to this thread but it went something like this.... UA has got tons of 733 between 18-21 yrs old still active today and they don't seem to hv any major problems and KLM is similar. I believe both KLM and UA can be categorized as major world carriers and hv got much larger active 733s fleet than BA. With good maintenance(Hard to doubt BA about this), I think most modern high-cycle short-range jets(e.g. 737 2nd Gen/Classic) can last about 25yrs at least.

I already travelled with some B733 and B735 of UA, and all flights were good. Their have 18-21 yrs old but in very good conditions of maintenance. US Airways is another carrier with many B733 and B734, but many of them phased out from fleet, with more cycles than UA and KLM, and the US maintenance is also good.

Thanks for responses. Don't have great knowledge in this area but was wondering what airlines consider when leasing / buying units from other operators. In the case of 737's I appreciate the lifespan is governed more by cycles than age. Would this mean that the likes of BA would buy / lease 737's that have mainly been allocated longer range routes from the previous carrier i.e. less cycles when considering which aircraft they take on? Is there a guideline of maximum cycles on 737's and can one find out this data readily? Thanks. Thanks.

When leasing or buying from another airline you would normally look at certain important facts such as ; 1. Is this type the same as we currently fly so we can use our own crews and maintainance people. 2. Seating capacity and range for the intended route(s). 3. The age of the aircraft. 4. Then we get a look at the Aircraft Log Book which tells us many things about this aircraft such as technical history, hours flown, cycles (ups and downs) number of owners and operators and a whole list of other information that you would never see if you were buying a car. 5. What is it going to cost us to buy it or what are the leasing terms for the period we wish to operate it for. Once we have all this information the horse dealing starts and we normally buy it or lease if for a lot less than owner wanted. Such is life !!!!
