Isnt that an official Boeing designator for that FR specified subtype?

or maybe they trust the regulator has done due diligence and accepted that the issues are resolved? Unless you know better? Are you aware that almost every aircraft has had significant safety issues at some point in its history... off the top of my head, 787 battery, 737 rudder hard over, DC10 and the 320 didn’t get called the john Wayne jet for nothing..

It would appear that Ryanair have not amended the seat maps on their booking engine for 737 MAX/ (-8200), i.e. they have the same map as 738, routes up to 33. Clearly it could be argued in current climate that they won't fill many of the flights (separate debate clearly).

Does anybody know exactly what flights are planned to be operated by this be plane. Easy to see after the event but if anybody knows, I'd be glad to hear. Thanks.

I thought they had an extra row of legroom seats due to the additional exits? Surely Ryanair being Ryanair would want to cash in on this?

Indeed.. I took a screenshot back in 2019 when the 737 MAX was loaded in the Ryanair system.

On the -8200 the following seats are extra legroom: 1B-C, 2A, 17A-F, 18A-F, 28B-E, 29A, 29F (21 seats)
On the -800 it's: 1A-C, 2D-F, 16A-F, 17A-F (18 seats)

Earlier this year, a Ryanair flight had some rather serious problems while flying over Belarus with 2 pax ending up in jail. Much of Europe (including the UK) has recommended against flying passengers over Belarus for the time being
I've just noticed a Ryanair UK flight from Kyiv to Stansted (RK3678, G-RUKB) seems to fly over a corner of Belarus today at approx 1150 GMT / UTC, based on FR24. I know it's not a major corner... but FR24 still shows flying over Belarus sovereign territory. Yes, I know FR24 sometimes interpolates a bit when there are gaps in coverage and it cannot be relied on 100%... but Europe should have good coverage. A 737 doesn't have the fine grained control of a fighter jet... and thus one would presumably want to leave a gap of a few miles from Belarus territory as some sort of "keep away from trouble" margin

Anyone have thoughts ?

The CAA “requested” that UK registered airliners avoid overflying Belarus. I don’t know how much weight that carries or what penalty could be applied. Anyway Ryanair should not be doing it and providing any support whatsoever to Belarus.

now a base with 2 aircraft from March 2022 with a total of 19 routes

When is summer 2022 likely to be substantially complete in being loaded for sale on the FR website, at least for dates up to maybe 30-June-2022 ? I'm aware that some of S22 seems to be on sale, but there are still some big gaps that I would expect to be filled by March. I don't want to get into the "when can I book a holiday to XXX" debate - I'm much more interested in analysing the network, and particularly seeing what routes are being dropped.
Yes, I know that Covid doesn't make things easy, and it's anyone's guess as to what travel will or won't be possible for next spring, but every airline is in the same position, and if tickets are not on sale, there's no revenue coming in

I thought Mr O'Leary might have come up with a PCR price smasher by now as the test are what are holding back most people I know.
