 Featured Map: Boeing 737-9 (MAX 9) Parking


23 January 2024 – Permalink – Archives of Featured Maps






Subsequent to the accident involving Alaska Airlines flight 1282 on 5 January
2024, Boeing 737-9 (MAX 9) aircraft with plugs in lieu of mid-cabin exit doors
(MED) remain grounded. 190 of the 217 Boeing 737-9 aircraft that have been
delivered are in this configuration, though FAA updates only refer to 171
aircraft. It's unclear which 19 aircraft are excluded from the FAA's tally.

(There has been a great deal of confusion in the press over what failed in the
accident. A door, a window, part of a wall, maybe the roof? 🙄)

The door plug is one of three available configurations. Max Kingsley-Jones
produced a precise summary based on data from Cirium, identifying these distinct
configurations:



AircraftDescriptionMax Passengers 9active door220 16deactivated door189 190plug
in lieu of door189



Visibly, on the 19 aircraft with a door (active or not) there is a small,
circular window, like those in the main doors at the front and rear of the
cabin. On aircraft with a plug, there is a normal cabin window, albeit with
wider margins on either side. Six companies operate the 190 aircraft which are
equipped with plugs:

21COPAPanamaplus 8 with deactivated doors 5Turkish AirlinesTurkey 79United
AirlinesU.S. 1Reliance IndustriesIndia737-9 BBJ MAX



Today's Featured Map shows the locations of the 182 aircraft parked in North and
Central America as of yesterday. (Several aircraft have been ferried each of the
last few days; this is allowed under the grounding order so long as the ferry
flights do not exceed an altitude of 10,000 feet.)

The five Turkish are parked in in Istanbul (three aircraft), Doha, and Baku; two
COPA aircraft are parked in South America (Montevideo and Santiago), and the
Reliance Industries 737-9 BBJ MAX has been parked at Basel since last April.
(The aircraft counts in the operator table link to the locations of each
operator's aircraft.)

The top four locations of parked aircraft are hubs for the four biggest
operators, which should come as no surprise: 19 aircraft are parked at Alaska's
Seattle hub and 16 each are parked at COPA's Panama City and Aeroméxico's México
City hubs. Another 16 are parked at San Francisco, a mix of United Airlines (9)
and Alaska Airlines (7) aircraft.
