About the Boeing 737-MAX 8
Developed to succeed the highly successful Boeing 737-800 of the 737 Next-Generation family, the 737-MAX 8 was the first variant in the 737-MAX family to be developed. Taking its first flight in January 2016, the MAX-8 entered into commercial service with Malindo Air in May 2017. It is the most popular variant of the 737-MAX family, which as of February 2024 has over 6,300 aircraft on order, with over 1,400 aircraft delivered to operators all around the world.
Why This Should be Added
In my opinion, this is one of, if not the most, colorful and beautiful liveries that is on the 737-MAX family. Representing a territory that does not have any current representation, I think that this would make for a great addition in being able to add some unique routes, this combined with the fact that the airline was the first to operate the type in the region holds some importance, and what I believe makes it worthy to be included when the aircraft type is added to the simulator in future!
