The article reports that Boeing Co. is filling a seating gap in its single-aisle lineup and renewing the challenge to the Airbus A321 airplane with the launch of the 737-900ER airplane, which offers airlines the choice of carrying 26 more passengers or flying another 500 nautical miles. The new airplane was launched with the formal signing of an order for 60 aircrafts from Lion Air. The aircraft will include a standard Type 2 door measuring 24 X 52 inches, located on the left side of the fuselage behind the wing.
