BELAVIA-BELARUSIAN AIRLINES has accepted its first Boeing 737 MAX 8 – becoming the world’s 21st operator of the narrowbody.
The Renton-built airframe, EW-528PA (c/n 43344), departed Seattle’s Boeing Field on delivery as Flight B22026 on April 7 at 15.24hrs local time. Around six-and-a-half hours later, it briefly stopped in Reykjavik/Keflavík early the next morning on a technical stop before flying the last 1,876 miles to the Belarusian gateway, Minsk/National.
