A lot, I know someone will have the count but I’m on my phone right now and can’t get that exact figure. Especially for other airlines like Malta and Buzz in the Ryanair Group. Not sure if those airlines will start taking delivery of aircraft soon.

Reportedly 6 each for Ryanair and Malta Air.

Ryanair group are set to take delivery of 12 Max 8200s this summer - 6 in the Ryanair livery and 6 in the Malta Air livery. No mention of Buzz deliveries as of yet. It seems they will remain stored for another while.

According to flightradar24, TUI 737-8 PH-TFU departed Boeing Field at 12:39 PM PDT today 6-21-21, enroute to Glasgow (GLA), operating as TUI Flight 58F. According to flightradar24 the most recent prior flight for PH-TFU was on 6-16-21 as Boeing Flight 876, thus today's flight is a delivery flight. If my count is correct then this flight, if completed, will be the 17th completed MAX delivery flight of June 2021.

Why did they deliver all these frames to TUI UK? They also moved several frames from TUI fly Nordic to TUI UK. Do they have so much under-capacity there? (Maybe because of Thomas Cook collapse?)

That's something only they would know the real answer to, I think the Collapse of TC could be a factor in that. You would think with the "collapse" of Norwegian, that would also be an area to try and grow into.

Hello ikolkyo,

According to flightradar24 there were two Aeromexico MAX deliveries flights on 6-22-21, as follows.

N109JS, MAX8, Flight 9451, which you mentioned in your post,
and also:
XA-BBB, MAX9, Flight 9449.

If my count is correct, these two flights were the 19th and 20th MAX delivery flights in June 2021.

Do the final payment and physical delivery both take place at the Boing Field delivery center, or once payment is made does Boeing fly the aircraft to the customer?

Final payments and such can take place many days before the actual aircraft flies away to its home base. It’s never really known when the payment happens. Also the airline flies the aircraft from BFI, not Boeing.

Side note, pretty interesting that this aircraft didn’t have any flights done recently before this delivery flight, unless they were done under a different registration.

You are correct and for a little bit of trivia. XA-BBB was the 500th 737MAX delivery fly away.

in the vast majority of deliveries you're correct. however there are situations (export, import, taxes, title transfer, etc) where the 'delivery' takes place at a neutral site at the airlines request. Also for the same or other reasons some delivery flights are flown by Boeing pilots. I believe a US airline was taking delivery of A350's through some scheme to bypass import fees.

There are 2 at RNT and 1 at BFI. The 1st 2 737-10's are in Boeing House colors. My understanding is all 3 will be used in testing.

According to flightradar24, United Airlines 737-8 N27251 departed Boeing Field at 9:49 AM PDT today 6-27-21, enroute to Newwark (EWR), operating as United Flight 2708. According to flightradar24 the most recent prior flight for N27251 was on 6-22-21 as Boeing Flight 451, thus today's flight is a delivery flight. If my count is correct then this flight, if completed, will be the 24th completed MAX delivery flight of June 2021.

I wonder if N27251, once in Newark, will be involved in United's Tuesday media event there. United's MAX delivery flights earlier this year usually, if not always, went to SeaTac (SEA, 6 miles from BFI) and United has a major hub and maintenance base at San Francisco (SFO, 685 miles from BFI) , both much closer than Newark (2390 miles).

"Forbes cites unnamed sources close to the deal, saying the rumored order is likely to be the biggest ever. They say the announcement is imminent. Next Tuesday’s investor’s update is flagged as a probable time. United Airlines is also holding a media event at Newark on the same day."
