Would a 55-200 mm lens zoom much further than a 18-55?

Right now I have a 18-55 mm lens on my camera that came with it. I like to take pictures of aeroplanes that approach the runway and sometimes some close-ups, therefore, I am thinking about buying a new lens that can zoom further, and I've found a Nikkor 55-200mm lens. How much further does it zoom? Are there any other ones at a reasonable price? What is the difference about these two lenses?
thanks.
