News interne sul 737-9 MAX deployment:
Take a look at our first Boeing 737-9 MAX, aircraft 7501, freshly painted and nearly ready for delivery later this month. Tech Ops will do post-delivery modifications, and then the plane will undergo various pre-revenue service checks, training sessions and proving runs.
We are the North American launch customer for this variant, and chose the MAX 9 for its superior fuel efficiency, which can increase range and payload while maintaining significant commonality with the Boeing 737NG (Next Generation). The MAX family reduces fuel use and CO2 emissions significantly compared with the older generation aircraft.
As previously announced, our first 737-9 MAX will enter the schedule in early June, starting with routes out of IAH to destinations including ANC (Anchorage, Alaska), MCO (Orlando), FLL (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) and SAN (San Diego). We have 161 737 MAXs on order. We expect to take delivery of 10 737 MAX 9s this year, and in 2020 we plan to bring the 737 MAX 10 variant into the United fleet.
