Funny thing is I remember the Norwegian Max being used on BDL, SWF and PVD as well as working across to OSL and ARN between the inbound and outbound transatlantic sectors. Apart from the rare technical issue they worked well, obviously load factors played their part in the withdrawal of the service but on the whole the operation ran to time and was not a problem.

I liked doing a wee D8/DI flight although the pax mix for the Stateside Routes was interesting.

Given the fact that AA, UA, WN all used the MAX in fairly large numbers along with the start of TUI in Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia and then the U.K. it was becoming a popular choice then those two fatal crashes......

It’s a bit like COVID in that the public need to regain their confidence to go about their daily routines. Ryanair, of course now has two mantras MAX COVID to blame all their ills on.

TUI were planning to go fully MAX from S19 for both EDI and GLA. Obviously that didn’t happen, but it may be the case from S21 or whenever they’re back in service.

I was working at MAN last weekend and saw 3TUI Max stored on an apron close to T3.

I believe they have 5 stored at MAN and 1 at TFS, as well as others awaiting delivery at Boeing.

Today EDI announced they are laying off about a third of their employees with around 250 redundancies.
