Worth noting that like Australia, which also did it, this affects very very few UK flights, so the cost / disruption is pretty low.

- Svip 8y agoNorwegian appears to be one of the two airlines that fly to the UK with the aircraft, and they have taken the consequence and grounding their 737 MAX-8 fleet as well.
- kareemm 8y agoAir Canada flies from Halifax to London on a 737 MAX-8[1]. I flew it in Dec shortly after the Lion Air crash. 1- https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/277713/air-canada-s18-halifax-london-aircraft-changes/ https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/277713/air...
- jonawesomegreen 8y agoI believe this will affect Air Canada, which flies 737 Max 8 on several Canada -> UK routes.
- CaptainZapp 8y agoThat sounds painful for passengers. Eight hours in a narrow body; uggghhh!
- alexhutcheson 8y agoThat doesn't seem so much different from a transcon flight in the US, which is mostly no big deal.
- benjohnson 8y agoEven though a narrow body isn't as conformable, I'd much rather fly direct as generally the alternative is two flights - a narrow body to a hub and then a heavy across the pond.
- peteretep 8y agoLong-haul on a narrow body is fine as long as the seats are good. QR used to do an all-J A320 LHR-DOH which was a great way to travel.
- msviss 8y agoIt’s banned from UK airspace, so US flights to Europe are affected (at least flights from lower latitudes)
- shaki-dora 8y agoQuite a few flights in/out of London: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/03/11/world/boeing-737-max-which-airlines.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/03/11/world/boeing-...
