Boeing 737-8MAX 200

The Boeing 737‑8 MAX 200 is a high‑density variant of the 737 MAX family, introduced by Boeing in 2017 as part of the next‑generation single‑aisle program that succeeds the long‑running 737 Classic series. Development began after the 737 NG line reached maturity, with the goal of delivering superior fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and a modern cockpit while preserving commonality with earlier 737 models. The 8 MAX 200 seats up to 200 passengers in a single‑class configuration, using the same CFM International LEAP‑1B engines that power the larger MAX aircraft, but with a slightly shortened fuselage and strengthened wing structure to accommodate higher passenger loads. Key features include advanced winglets, a redesigned landing gear, and Boeing’s Sky‑Interior cabin with larger overhead bins, LED lighting, and quieter, more comfortable seats. The aircraft’s fly‑by‑wire flight‑deck software integrates the latest avionics, providing pilots with enhanced situational awareness and reduced workload. Since entering service with low‑cost carriers such as Ryanair, the 737‑8 MAX 200 has become a cornerstone for high‑frequency, short‑haul routes, offering airlines a compelling combination of operating cost savings and market‑driving capacity, thereby reinforcing the 737’s dominance in global aviation.
