Fleets and networks are approximations for the prototype and are scaled to the model. Source: Lufthansa: launch customer of the 737 in 1968 and, with Swissair, of the A310 (launched 7 July 1978); West German carriers could not fly to Berlin in this period, so no Berlin route. Real fleet about 110 in 1976 (estimated). Routes and finance are estimates.
