The jet is designed for up to 172 passengers and a maximum range of 3,850 nautical miles, which is the longest range of the MAX airplane family.<\/p>\n<p>Technology improvements allow the MAX 7 to fly 1,000 nautical miles farther and carry more passengers than its predecessor, the 737-700, while having 18 percent lower fuel costs per seat.<\/p>\n<p>The MAX 7 is also superior to the competition, carrying 12 more passengers 400 nautical miles farther than the A319neo, on 7 percent lower operating costs per seat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For our airline customers serving airports at high altitudes or remote locations, the MAX 7 is the ideal complement to their fleet. We look forward to demonstrating the incredible flexibility and range of this airplane,&#8221; said Keith Leverkuhn, vice president and general manager of the 737 MAX program, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. &#8220;This is the third 737 MAX family member our team has successfully introduced in just three years. That&#8217;s a phenomenal accomplishment and a testament to the dedication of the entire 737 team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first MAX 7 will now undergo system checks, fueling and engine runs on the flight line in Renton. The airplane, the first of two MAX 7 flight test airplanes, will begin its flight testing program in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The 737 MAX 7 is scheduled to enter service in 2019, following delivery to launch customer Southwest Airlines.<\/p>\n<p>The entire 737 MAX family is designed to offer customers exceptional performance, with lower per-seat costs and an extended range that will open up new destinations in the single-aisle market. The MAX 8 entered service with customers across the globe last year, and the MAX 9 will start deliveries in the coming months. The MAX 10 was launched at last year&#8217;s Paris Air Show and is scheduled to enter service in the 2020 timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>The 737 MAX is the fastest-selling airplane in Boeing history, accumulating more than 4,300 orders from 92 customers worldwide.
