Ryanair takes delivery of 1st B737MAX

On 16 June, Ryanair has finally taken delivery of its very first B737MAX. The aircraft involved is B737-8200 EI-HEN (62301), which used temporary registration N3134C before. It was ferried non-stop from Seattle-Boeing Field (WA) to Dublin.

In total, Ryanair has ordered 210 B737-8200s. This version of the MAX8 has a high-density cabin lay-out, enabling airlines to fly up to 200 passengers. Next to Ryanair, VietJet also has the type on order. Ryanair is also in negotiations for an additional order with Boeing but this time for up to 100 B737-10s.
