Norwegian takes delivery of first 2 Boeing 737 MAX 8s
Norwegian took delivery of its first 2 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, and will deploy the CFM International LEAP-1B-powered aircraft on transatlantic routes starting in July. The airline has 110 MAX 8 aircraft on order. It expects to receive 4 more by the end of 2017. “The 6 aircraft [delivered this year] will operate 12 routes between the north-eastern US and Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Norway,” Norwegian said. The delivery came slightly later than expected because of what the airline described as a “minor technical issue.” Boeing had to temporarily stop 737 MAX flying in May after an issue was discovered with a LEAP-1B component being delivered to CFM by one its suppliers. Norwegian is the second airline in the world to receive the 737 MAX, following a May delivery to Malaysia’s Malindo Air. <br/>
