A Boeing 737-800 carries a reported list price of $106,100,000. A 787-9 lists at $292,500,000, a 747-8 at $418,400,000 and the 777-9 at $442,200,000. Those are 2019 figures, the latest full Boeing list we could verify, and almost no airline pays them.
What the public record does show is the size of the machine behind the price. The FAA register holds 4,816 Boeing airliners of the types covered here. Boeing has delivered 12,382 737s and has 4,869 more on order. US airlines reported $5,842 of direct operating expense for every airborne hour of the 737 family in 2025.
This page walks from the list price to the fleet to the running bill, then looks at what the accident files record. Every figure comes from a named public source with its date, and the sources are listed at the end.
Data used: FAA registry through 2026-10-12; NTSB files through 2026-09-30. Source periods are shown with each table.
What a Boeing list price tells you, and what it leaves out
We could not find a current Boeing price list. The most complete table we could verify is the one The Points Guy reproduced from Boeing in an article dated 14 July 2019, so every price in this section is a 2019 list price and says so. A newer list would replace these figures.
List prices as reported in July 2019. The gold bar is the 787-9. These are not prices paid.
The ladder is steep. A 787-9 lists at 2.8 times the price of a 737-800, and the 777-9 lists at 3.6 times a 737 MAX 8. The 747-8 sits above the 777-300ER on paper, $418,400,000 against $375,500,000, even though Boeing has delivered 1,796 777s against 1,573 747s.
The 737 family, size by size
Inside the 737 family the 2019 list climbs from the 737-700 at $89,100,000 through the 737-800 and the 737-900ER to the MAX line, where the 737 MAX 7 lists at $99,700,000 and the 737 MAX 10 at $134,900,000.

Who flies them: the FAA register
The FAA register holds 4,816 registrations for these Boeing types, and it marks 4,713 of them valid. The other 103 carry a different status. The register covers aircraft with US registration only, so it is a slice of the world fleet, not the whole of it, and it does not say whether an aircraft is flying today.
The 737 Original, Classic, NG and MAX are the four generations of the 737.
One family dominates. The 737 NG is 37.1% of the register and the MAX adds 20.4%. Count all four generations of the 737 and they are 59.9% of every Boeing airliner on it. The 767 is the next biggest single family at 576, then the 757 at 440.

By registrant type, corporations hold 4,387 of the registrations and LLCs hold 378.

Delivered, and still to build
The FAA register stops at the US border, so the world picture comes from Boeing itself. Its orders and deliveries table, dated 30 September 2026, counts every aircraft Boeing has handed over since each type began.
Deliveries are not aircraft in service. They include every aircraft handed over, whether it is still flying or not.
The 737 is the giant, with 12,382 deliveries. The 727 follows at 1,831, ahead of the 777 at 1,796, the 747 at 1,573, the 787 at 1,311 and the 767 at 1,253. At the other end the 717 line delivered 155 aircraft, and its unfilled-order count stands at 0 aircraft. A delivery count never says how many of those aircraft are still flying.
The order book looks forward. Boeing lists 4,869 737s still unfilled, 1,178 787s and 708 777s. The 777X, with 0 aircraft delivered, accounts for 665 of those 777 orders.

What an airline spends per hour in the air
Airlines in the United States report their direct operating costs to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, aircraft type by aircraft type. For 2025 the Form 41 Schedule P-5.2 data give a cost for every airborne hour, which is the time from wheels up to wheels down.
Across 9 carriers the 737 family flew 7,302,710 airborne hours and reported $5,842 of direct operating expense for each one. The 757 reported $7,408, the 767 $9,083, the 787 $10,939 and the 777 $12,644. The 777 costs 2.2 times as much per hour as the 737 family.
Direct operating expense as US airlines report it. An average across carriers and seating layouts, not a price list or a lease rate.
Fuel burn climbs with the size of the aircraft. The 737-800 burned 916 US gallons per airborne hour, the 787 family 1,771 and the 777 family 2,393. Fuel is a little over a third of the 737 family's direct cost and more than two-fifths of the 777 family's.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boeing 737-700/700LR/Max 7 | 7 carriers | $6,135 per airborne hour | 845.9 US gal per airborne hour | 32.7% |

How big they are
The FAA type certificate data sheets give the certified numbers. The 737-800, approved 1998-03-13, has a maximum takeoff weight of 174,200 lb. The 737-8 followed on 2017-03-08 at 182,200 lb, and the 737-9 on 2018-02-15 at 194,700 lb.
What the accident files record
The NTSB file lists 752 accidents involving these Boeing airliners between 2000 and 2025. Of those, 69 were fatal, and the fatal events reported 4,482 deaths in total. That figure covers everyone killed in those events, including people on other aircraft and on the ground.
Many 737 records carry only the label 737, so they sit in their own group instead of a generation. Families with no records are in the table.

The worldwide hull-loss table
Boeing publishes a statistical summary of hull losses for the worldwide commercial jet fleet, 1959 to 2024. Boeing uses the term hull loss for the severity of damage an airplane suffers in an accident. The summary counts 1,041 airplanes lost as hull losses across every type it covers, and 516 airplanes of those were in accidents with fatalities.
For the types in this page the cumulative counts run from the original 737 at 104 airplanes and the 727 at 95 airplanes down to the 787 and the 747-8 at 0 airplanes. The 737 NG sits at 23 airplanes and the 737 MAX at 2 airplanes. Older types have flown for decades more than newer ones, and Boeing prints rates per million departures to compare them. This page does not repeat the rates, because the departures behind them are not part of our data.

Questions people ask
How much does a new Boeing 737 cost?
The latest full Boeing list we could verify, reported in July 2019 put a 737-800 at $106,100,000 and a 737 MAX 8 at $121,600,000. Those are list prices. Airlines negotiate, and the prices they pay are not public.
How much does a Boeing 787 cost?
The 2019 list reported $292,500,000 for a 787-9, $338,400,000 for a 787-10 and a lower $248,300,000 for the 787-8. These are list prices, not what an airline pays.
How much does a Boeing 747 cost?
The 747-8 was listed at $418,400,000 in the 2019 table. Boeing has delivered 1,573 747s in all, and its unfilled-order count stands at 0 aircraft.
How much does it cost to fly a Boeing 737 for an hour?
US airlines reported $5,842 of direct operating expense per airborne hour for the 737 family in 2025. That is an average, and it leaves out leases and overhead.
How many Boeing planes are there?
The FAA register holds 4,816 of these Boeing airliners, which covers US-registered aircraft only. Worldwide, Boeing has delivered 12,382 737s alone.
How many Boeing airliners have been lost in accidents?
Boeing's statistical summary counts 1,041 airplanes lost as hull losses across the worldwide commercial jet fleet from 1959 to 2024. Of those, 516 airplanes were in accidents with fatalities. That covers every type in the table, not only Boeing designs, and it does not say that any type is safe or unsafe.
