To save weight and reduce cost and complexity the 737 lacks full doors to cover the main landing gear. The main landing gear (under the wings at mid-cabin) rotate into wells in the aircraft's belly, the legs being covered by partial doors, and "brush-like" seals aerodynamically smooth (or "fair") the wheels in the wells. The sides of the tires are exposed to the air in flight. "Hub caps" complete the aerodynamic profile of the wheels. It is forbidden to operate without the caps, because they are linked to the ground speed sensor that interfaces with the anti-skid brake system. When observing a 737 takeoff, or at low altitude, the dark circles of the tires can be plainly seen. On 18 July 2005, Lion Air placed an order for the Boeing 737-900ER with 30 firm order airplanes and purchase rights on another 30 airplanes. Boeing 737-900ER (Wallpaper 4).

This decision turned Lion Air into the launch customer for the aircraft model. The agreement including options was valued at approximately $3.9 billion. The first 737-900ER was expected to be handed over to Lion Air during 2007. Boeing announced a new business jet based on the Next-Generation 737-900ER airliner offering more spacious cabin than BBJ and BBJ 2 jets during Dubai Air Show in November 2005. Boeing expected to name this new aircraft the BBJ 3 after receiving its launch order. It will offer 104 square meters of cabin space and fitted with up to five auxiliary fuel tanks the aircraft will have a maximum range of 4,765 nautical miles (8,825 km). On September 1, 2006, the first Boeing 737-900ER took to the skies over Washington state. Certification by American and European authorities is expected in early 2007 and the entry into revenue service with Lion Air was scheduled for the Spring 2007. On 20 February 2006, New Delhi-based SpiceJet announced its intention to execute an option on 10 Next Generation Boeing 737 airplanes. The contract option included five Boeing 737-800s and five 737-900ERs plus another 10 options. On 14 August 2006, Boeing and SpiceJet signed an agreement converting ten aircraft options into five 737-800s and five 737-900ERs from an order placed in February 2005. The 10 airplanes fitted with blended winglets were valued at more than $700 million and were slated for delivery beginning in late 2007. Boeing 737-900ER (Wallpaper 4).
