A brief history about these airplanes: Boeing 737 Next Generation (600, 700, 700ER, 800, 900, 900ER, BBJ1, BBJ2, BBJ3 and P-8) is the further improvement of earlier Boeing 737 Classic (300, 400, 500), designed to compete with the Airbus A320 family, also providing increased efficiency and comfort. Produced since 1996, more than 7,000 airplanes has been produced to date. The airplane is now being succeeded by the 737 MAX family. In Indonesia, the story of Boeing 737 Next Generation begins when Garuda Indonesia reportedly ordered several 737-700s in late 90s or early 2000s. However, the order was deferred significantly and turns out that Garuda wasn't going to be the first operator of this type in Indonesia. The first Indonesian operator of 737 Next Generation was a Bali-based airline, Air Paradise International who wet-leased a single 737-800 from Transavia, registered PH-HZW for several months to support their operations from Bali to Australia from November 2003 to March 2004, and then also from September 2004 to April 2005. However, the actual Indonesian-registered 737 Next Generation didn't come until January 2006 when Garuda finally introduces Boeing 737-800 with registration PK-GEE to their fleet. It was not a brand-new airplane from their earlier order; Garuda adds several second-hand 737-800s until 2009 when finally, their brand-new 737s were delivered from Boeing. Garuda seem to convert all of their previous orders of 737-700 to 737-800, and adding several more into their backlog. That same year in 2009, Garuda also launches a massive rebranding in conjunction with the arrival of brand-new airplanes, to present day Garuda branding that we seen present day. Lion Air, the largest LCC in Indonesia also marks the major milestone by becoming the launch customer of Boeing 737-900ER and ordered up to 178 Boeing 737 Next Generation which later was allocated not just for their own operations, but also for their subsidiary in Malaysia, Thailand, and their full service subsidiary, Batik Air. Their first 737-900ER was delivered in 2007, followed by their 737-800s later in 2012. By 2026, the operators of Boeing 737 Next Generation in Indonesia were Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air, Sriwijaya Air, Indonesian Government, Indonesian Air Force, and several private-owned BBJs.
