On 18 June, the largest variant of the B737MAX, the MAX10, took to the skies for the first time. The aircraft, B737-10 N27751 (msn 66122), departed from Renton Field (WA) at 10:07 am and landed at Seattle-Boeing Field (WA) at 12:38 pm, after a successful flight.

The MAX10 can carry up to 230 passengers over a maximum distance of 6,110 kilometres. Boeing hopes to have the aircraft certified by 2023 with deliveries starting shortly thereafter. So far, at least 483 B737-10s have been ordered with United Airlines being the largest customer having ordered 100 of them.
