Boeing just roll out its latest 737 Max 10. Wonder if SQ will convert some of its Max9 to the bigger Max 10.

I'm not sure whether SQ PR is going to be too happy about being associated with the Max at this point. We all know they're getting them, the issue is when.

Presumably they're not going to bother reregistering and stick with the MB* series, given how Tiger's old planes went into Scoot without a reregistration in the Scoot O-series namespace. Even the new A320neos are -TN*.
Might be worth revisiting after hitting -MBZ, but even then still quite unlikely.an infrastructure geek

Originally posted by Scooter001 View PostSeems like the registration for this aircraft will be 9V-MBN. Bearing in mind that undelivered aircraft up to 9V-MBM are still painted in the SLK livery.
9V-MBA to 9V-MBM will most likely be repainted progressively once the merger is finalised.

Putting this here since it impacts SQ Maxes

- The FAA told Boeing that it plans to inspect each 737 Max plane individually.
- The agency reiterated it has no firm time frame to certify the jets, grounded since mid-March after two crashes.
- Boeing has said that it expects to get regulator approval this year and that it welcomes the oversight.
