Lion Air Group and Boeing on March 21 celebrated the very first 737 MAX 9 to be delivered. The airplane will go into service with Thai Lion Air, where its added capacity will help the airline launch several international routes.

The Lion Air Group is the launch customer for the MAX 9. They were also the first operator to put the MAX 8 into service, and have announced a commitment for 50 MAX 10s. The Group also has an additional 200 737 MAXs on order and is one of the world’s largest operators of the 737.

The 737 MAX 9 is designed for a capacity of up to 220 passengers and a maximum range of 3,550 nautical miles. With three additional seat rows compared to the 737 MAX 8, this airplane provides operators added capacity while maximizing profitability within their network.

The first Boeing 737-9 MAX 9 that will be delivered, is now painted at Renton and will be getting ready to fly very soon.
The aircraft will be going to Thai Lion Air as HS-LSH (msn 42991, line number 6771).
The first MAX 9, in house colors, is still conducting flight tests out of Boeing Field (BFI).ย  The second, the pictured HS-LSH, was the first to appear in an airline livery.
It has been stored at Renton since around September of last year.
