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.  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.

Lion Air introduced 737-800 into their fleet in 2012, complementing their existing fleet of 737-900ER. The 737-800 was initially used by Lion Air for routes to airports that unable to handle 737-900ER, such as Bandung. Batik Air, the full-service subsidiary of Lion Air later also using 737-800, also complementing their existing 737-900ER in 2014. Presently, Lion Air Indonesia operates 22 737-800s, while Batik Air Indonesia operates 11 737-800s. Lion Air also have another subsidiary in Malaysia (Batik Air Malaysia, previously Malindo Air) and Thailand (Thai Lion Air) which also operates 737-800s as well.

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.
