The 737 design enhancements allow operators to fly increased payload in and out of airports with runways less than 5,000 feet long.The short-field performance changes were developed in 2004 in response to Brazilian airline GOL's needs at Santos Dumont airstrip in Rio de Janeiro. The 4,300-foot runway is short compared to other runways and could not accommodate larger aircraft at higher approach speeds with full payloads.The short-field design package is an option on the 737-600, -700 and -800 and is standard equipment for the 737-900ER.
