When the fourth-generation Boeing 737s, to be delivered about three-four months, it is English that is the first to take the new aircraft type in use.
the Company confirms to CNN that they receive the first aircraft in may.
Thus, the English aircraft before american Southwest Airlines, who actually stood first in the queue.
Takes over the role
On the morning of Wednesday 25. January 2012 could the Norwegian present one of the greatest flight bookings. When the company had just flesh and ordered the entire 222 aircraft, of which 100 were of the remotoriserte and more efficient fourth-generation B737.
just over A month earlier had us Southwest Airlines ordered more B737. The company was lanseringskunde also on both the 737-300, 737-500 and 737-700 and should be the same on the 737 Max 8.

ever since Norwegian put in kjempebestillingen five years ago, it has been clear that the company would be the first in Europe with the new aircraft type. Now rush they’re past the Southwest in the queue and becomes a global lanseringskunde on one of the by far the most important planes in aviation.
A type of aircraft that has been in production in over 50 years and so far have been delivered in well over 9.000 copies.
a year ago, the plan was that Southwest would receive the first aircraft in the third quarter of 2017. Now the first deliveries precipitated. It is certainly favorable with respect to competition with the corresponding remotoriserte Airbus A320 Neo which has been operational for a year already.
– it is important For us to have new aircraft because they are more efficient in operation and has lower emissions. In addition, the new aircraft more comfortable for the passengers, ” says communications manager Lasse Sandaker-Nielsen in Norwegian.
However, the story will show that there can be challenges with the new technology. It has English itself known, with a number of operational difficulties in the early stages, with the Boeing 787.
Max is an upgraded version of the luftas workhorse, the Boeing 737, so this will be different than when, for example, the Airbus A380 or the Dreamliner was put in commercial traffic, ” Sandaker-Nielsen.
New intercontinental routes
The first 737 Max was rolled out of the factory Seattle Tuesday 8. December 2015. “the Spirit of Renton” is the name of the testflyet, named after the factory location just outside of Seattle, and it flew for the first time 29. January of last year.
With new and more efficient CFM Leap 1B engines, and aerodynamic nyvinnginger as they split the vingetuppene, this 737-a, for example, able to fly transatlantic.

It is also the plan to Norwegian: To exploit the increased range to put into the 737 Max on intercontinental routes. Today, the company the greater bredbuksflyet Boeing 787-8/9 Dreamliner on the longest routes. Now the 737 Max come in as a supplement where there is less passasjergrunnlag.
English receives six aircraft of this type in 2017, but where they will fly is not yet completely clarified, writes the company in an email.

Boeing promises the 737 Max will be 14 percent more efficient than the 737-800 aircraft, which is still produced, and 20 percent more efficient than when the current generation 737 was put into operation in 1998. It is the new generation of engines that in essence should have the credit for effektivitetsforbedringen.
In addition to the CFM Leap 1B engines with a larger fan (176 cm) is the most eye-catching change on the 737 Max the new vingetuppene that is kløvd in two, with a oppoverbøyd and a nedoverbøyd part.
“Advanced Technology winglets” call Boeing that is a mix of tilbakestrøkede (“rake tip”) and oppoverbøyde vingetupper. This so-called “dual feather winglet concept provides a larger effective wing span and will provide up to an additional 1.8 per cent efficiency.
757-replace
Boeing provide range on the 737 Max 8 to “over 3500 nautical miles”. According to Norwegian is this 400-500 nautical miles extra compared to today’s 737-800 aircraft. The range is, for example, sufficient to fly Trondheim-New York city.
English receive in addition an additional alternative to the intercontinental and anything thinner routes for each:
at the same time the company ordered the 737 Max ordered 100 A320 Neo. Last summer did the English about the order and converted 30 of the planes to the new version A321LR which has the largest passenger capacity and range. These, the company shall use even when they are among the first to receive the aircraft in 2019.
Airbus launched this LR version as a replacement for the Boeing 757. The maximum takeoff weight (mtow) at 97 tonnes, and will be able to carry 206 passengers 4.000 nautical miles.
Have over 700 of 737-is
When it comes to the original lanseringskunden, ordered the Southwest just before christmas in 2011 all 150 737 Max and 58 737 NG. The order is later extended.

by this time The had Southwest recently had two incidents where the aircraft had to make an emergency landing with a hole in the ceiling. At one event had a two-metre hole caused by an overlapping shot “lap joint” in the ceiling approximately in the middle of the cabin, and the american accident found cracking in several places in the aircraft. It was later discovered cracking in three additional aircraft.
the Company flies exclusively Boeing 737 and today has a fleet of around 723 fly – quite exactly twice as many as Ryanair for comparison. Four months ago phased the company out of his last 737-500.
Boeing has made good progress with 2017 and has, among other hijacked storkontrakter of 100 737 Max 8 to SpiceJet and 75 similar aircraft to GE Capital Aviation Services. The company has now passed to 3,600 orders on the 737 Max.
