Default The next doomed Stansted NYC business jet

I'm surprised a 737 can fly for 7 hours without refueling. What ****ty budget
airline was dishing them up for long haul? Let us know so we can avoid it.


It's the 737-700ER, with a range of 5,630 nm. That's enough to get
from London to anywhere in the continental US.


Not I suspect if you include fuel safety margins.


Perhaps the range has haht factored in, otherwise it's pretty
meaningless.
