PAX Count

Hi team,

I was wondering why the IXEG B737 Classic only holds 108 PAX whilst it should be around 149 max.

Is that the norm?

It varies from airline to airline and even then between different configurations. If you put in many small seats -> more passengers, and vice versa.

Thanks but how can we increase  the pax volume?

Increasing the number of passengers ultimately does nothing more than raise the aircraft's weight. This can just as well be achieved by adjusting the payload respectively.

Exactly - the pilot does not care how many people sit behind the cockpit door, he only cares about the weight and the center of gravity.
