United Bought Hundreds Of Lie Flat Seats For Its Delayed 737 MAX 10 -- Now They May Not Fit
xCruzo Brief
United Airlines has hundreds of lie-flat business-class seats stored for a Boeing 737 MAX 10 that was expected to enter service about six years ago but still lacks certification. CEO Scott Kirby told CNBC the airline has “a bunch of lie-flat seats” that apparently don’t fit on other aircraft. A report from AirInsight suggests the issue may be structural and installation-specific: the MAX 10’s floor beams might not support the weight and mounting loads of the premium cabin United plans. United’s lounge-style Coastliner fleet will include 20 Polaris suites plus Premium Plus and economy seats, while the MAX 10’s certification progress followed a final flight on July 28.
