Revealed: The 7 Airlines Pushing the Boeing 737 MAX to Its Ultimate Range Limits
The Boeing 737 MAX is increasingly being deployed on some of the world's longest narrowbody routes, showcasing its enhanced fuel efficiency and range. Airlines like Brazil's GOL, Copa Airlines, and Icelandair are leading this trend, connecting distant city pairs previously reserved for widebody aircraft. GOL's route from Brasilia to Orlando stands as the longest, covering over 3,300 nautical miles in about eight hours. This operational shift highlights how modern single-aisle jets are enabling new, more direct long-haul travel options. The list also includes carriers like Aeromexico and Royal Air Maroc, demonstrating a global trend in maximizing the aircraft's capabilities.
