Which is 'larger' is a matter of debate. The Electra is longer (by 10ft) with a shorter span (3 ft) although the 737 is certainly heavier.
There were also corporate 737s in Canada - Dome Petroleum (later sold to PWA), Pacific Sky (a -500, current) and one other which I forget.
Yep, I just saw NWT Air listed in your initial response.....
Interesting info concerning the B737-200 vs. L-188 as well....one would assume the 200 series 737 is larger than the Electra.....but assumptions can be dangerous and it ain't necessarily so!
By larger, I was referring to seating capacity. So here's another question: with regard to total number of seats, what was the seating capacity of Western's B737-200s vs. their L-188 Electras? WA operated both types in an all Y class seating configuration, I believe......
