No engine covers it seems...16 months on the deck...
Norwegian got their stranded Max out of TFS
AFAIK.
TUI UK have 5 more stored at MAN plus at least 3 or 4 completed examples ready at Boeing that were just about to be delivered for S19.
Not sure if any -10 versions have actually been built as yet for TUI.
They were due to take some of those for S20.
Norwegian flew them the long way round clear of EASA UK and German airspace with a special dispensation. TUi simply didn’t pursue the CAA for such an exemption as far as I know.
I feel they could have if only to repatriate to Manchester .
There have been numerous max repositioning flights elsewhere cepting the UK and Germany in the main
