The -500 series was the smallest dimensions of the 737 Classic series. The -500 was offered, due to customer demand, as a modern and direct replacement of the 737-200, incorporating the improvements of the 737 Classic series in a model that allowed longer routes with fewer passengers to be more economical than with the 737-300.

Though smaller than the -300 and -400, the fuselage length of the -500 is 1 ft 7 in (48 cm) longer than the 737-200, accommodating up to 140 passengers.

Both glass and older style mechanical cockpits arrangements were available. Using the CFM56-3 engine also gave a 25% increase in fuel efficiency over the older -200s P&W engines.

A moveable curtain divider is used to indicate where European Business ends and Economy begins.

The seat is the typical slimline Recaro seat that has become so typical for many of the European carriers.

Storage space in the seat back is fairly limited, because the seat is lacking a net on the lower half of the seat back.
