The initial Boeing 737 MAX jets destined for Ryanair Group subsidiary Malta Air have started to be delivered. As Airliner World went to press, six of the high-density MAX 8-200s, painted in the stunning Maltese Cross-themed livery, have arrived in Europe so far between July 14 and August 5, including this 197-seat example, 9H-VUF (c/n 65082), which was the third to be handed over. Meanwhile, parent firm Ryanair has also taken delivery of its own MAXs, while fellow group airline, Buzz, has yet to take the type.
