Icelandair Ferries Boeing 737 MAXs To Spain
Icelandair’s 737 MAX 8s have taken to the skies again, on a ferry flight bound for Northern Spain. Although it was originally reported by the airline that the aircraft would be moved to Toulouse, it appears the storage location has been changed at the last minute. Two MAX 8s so far have left Iceland. As they are flying low and slow with flaps out, they need to stop off in Shannon (SNN) Ireland for refueling. Only the airline’s five MAX 8s are cleared for flights. Their one MAX 9 is still in… (simpleflying.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As per article. “They are being ferried low and slow flying at 19000 with flaps out - as this is the only known way to avoid MCAS.” When ACA moved it jets south, they didn’t do this - is this an EASA thing?!
Figures as part of the deal with whoever the airline dealt with for authorization to fly through their airspace.
Maybe flight with flaps deployed is a strategy for return to passenger service.
Did anyone else notice that there is not flight tracking software. I looked up some of their tales an didnt see any flights.
Congrats Icelandair. You're MAX 8s finally have freedom, but for Boeing, the groundings are still costing you $14 billion.
be the Jan 2020 American Airline is going to restart up 737 Max for normal flight status
IF they are approved, and their pilots want to drive them.
