LOT gets its first Boeing 737 Max 8

State-owned airlines LOT received its first out of six ordered Boeing 737 Max 8 planes. The machine is the most modern narrow-body aircraft in the world and will be used for the carrier’s short- and mid-range routes. Polish airline is one of the first in the world with the aircraft, which had its maiden flight in May 2017. The plane will start flying this week on the Warsaw-London route. LOT expects to receive the second such plane this month, with the final plane to be delivered by May 2019. The planes will operate on European routes. The machines can carry 186 passengers and are quieter and emit less pollution than similar machines in that class.
