United’s first 737 MAX 9 enters service at Houston hub
United Airlines debuted its first passenger service utilising a Boeing 737 MAX 9 with UA flight 686 between Houston George Bush Intercontinental and Orlando International June 7. United is the 737-9’s first North American carrier. United is expecting to have 10 737-9s by year-end, which will make up nearly half of the carrier’s 24 planned additions to its mainline fleet for 2018. Six 737-9s have been delivered to-date, a United spokesperson said. Two of the 737-9s entered service Thursday, both flying the IAH-MCO route, as well as routes between Houston and Austin, Texas; and Houston and Anchorage, Alaska, a route United previously had to fly with larger jets. Additional 737-9 service between Houston and Los Angeles, Sacramento and Tampa will begin by the end of June. <br/>
