RE: 737-900

hi kabir
Alaskan Airlines are the launch customer for the -900.
Continental and KLM have also placed orders. SAA have ordered the -800 I think.
As for the winglets, I am not sure, but I think that if they are not standard equipment they are at least optional.

RE: Favourite & worst looking airliner of all time

there is simply no contest
the B777 is simply the most graceful and beatiful aircraft.
The -300 is in my opinion THE aircraft when it comes to looks.
Of the -200srs I like those powered by General Electric GE90`s.
As for the worst looking, the A310 and 767-200 gets my vote, closely followed by the F28.

RE: Continental Airlines B767

no V1. You are wrong.
there is no airplane called B767-400. The aircraft you are thinking of is the -400ER. And it has a shorter range than the earlier extended range models, namely the -200ER and 300ER. Boeing is also now offering the -200ER, -300 and -300ER with the new 777-style interior and flightdeck. Both Delta and Continental have just taken delivery of the B767-400ER..the upcoming -400ERX, however will have a range similiar to the
-300ER. Kenya Airways has ordered this model.
Any more questions anyone ?

RE: Continental Airlines B767

as far as I know, boeing hasn`t launched the 767-400 yet.
The basic and so far only version available is the -400ER.
In three- four years the -400ERX will be available, which will
give -300ER range with -400ER capacity.

RE: Airbus A318

As the smallest member of the A320 family, the A318 will seat between 95-125 people, depending on configuration. It will probably have PW6000 powerplants, and be able to fly about
2000- 2500 nm. As for dimensions I`m not so sure, but I`d guess
about 5 metres shorter than the A319
