It was in production until 1999 when it was replaced by the -700 series of the Next Generation. More than 1000 aircraft of the -300 series have been sold, making it one of the most successful airliners ever built. It can carry up to 149 passengers over a range of 1000 nautical miles, or about 120 passenger over a range of 2200 NM.
