Furthermore, the aircraft flew on this route RNT- Grant County International Airport (MWH)- Grant County International Airport (BFI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, it made the second, third, and fourth test flights in the same month. Finally, on October 27, 2022, the luxurious VIP seating got installed on Boeing 737 MAX BBJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft finally made its delivery flight on February 25, 2023. The plane took off from Delaware Coastal Airport (GED). They landed at Henderson Executive Airport (HSH) and were further en route to Southern California Logistics Airport (VCV) in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the T7-LOTUS is most recently spotted at EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (BSL) in France. The aircraft flew from Victorville airport to BSL on April 13, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to our source, the aircraft is in France to get the advanced VIP interiors and other modifications. The aircraft will likely fit with premium first-class seats, stunning interiors, and customized galleys. After all, it&#8217;s the plane that belongs to Reliance and Ambanis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it might be due to some technical installations. Furthermore, the T7-LOTUS can soon take off again and, this time, land in India before making an additional fuel stop at another airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft is built in the Renton production line and has the MSN number 8401. Moreover, the aircraft is powered by two CFMI LEAP 1B powerful jet engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Boeing 737 MAX aircraft\" class=\"wp-image-30464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boeing_Company_N720IS_Boeing_737-7_MAX_30416417438.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: By Anna Zvereva from Tallinn, Estonia &#8211; Boeing Company, N720IS, Boeing 737-7 MAX,<br>CC BY-SA 2.0, https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?curid=72046412<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About<\/strong> Boeing 737 MAX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boeing 737 MAX, a narrow-body airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, is the fourth generation of the 737 family, succeeding the Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) and competing with the Airbus A320neo family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its development was announced on August 30, 2011, and the first aircraft took its maiden flight on January 29, 2016.
