Yes, with additional emergency exits. Formerly advertised as the MAX 200 but now just called a variant of the 8.
Are they operating any now on trial or fully operational
No, the first one registered EI-HAT is due for delivery in the next couple of weeks.
and what are Ryanair's future intentions in relations to ordering this type.
They'll probably drop the Gamechanger slogan...
Other than that I doubt much will change, Ryanair have an intensive ramp-up planned for the Max through 2019. Might be a delay to the timeline for any remedial work demanded by regulators but frankly when was the last time a big airline declined an aircraft type due to reputation? They have too much invested in the type.
