Shame they aren't any nearer resolving the dispute with Vilnius. A busy route but unlikely to be picked up now by Wizz given their fleet shortages.

Discussion ongoing here -Wonder what's going to happen with FR’s 737-Max planes, is it a case when one door closes another opens?
No one has been injured otherwise I wouldn't have joked about it. Never been a fan of the MAX, riddled with problems from day one.Nice attempt at humour @BCFC but potentially this situation could have been a lot worse and also has the potential for serious reputational damage for the Max, especially if the 8’s do end up being grounded for checks. I know I have my moments re humour but not sure this is a topic to joke about, although the saving grace so far is there has been nothing fatal re this door issue
Whilst there were no serious physical injuries, the whole experience would have been very traumatic and many passengers would have suffered from this. A depressurisation of that magnitude would have been very violent (reports of one boy having his shirt ripped off and mobile phones and other loose items flying around the cabin). Such event can lead to long term problems such as on-going nightmares. It's still suffering, whether it's physical or mental.No one has been injured otherwise I wouldn't have joked about it.

Only the 737-9 has the 'plug door' option. It's not available on the 737-8 or 737-10.Discussion ongoing here -

The FR B737-MAX8-200's are not affected, as they have a different door design to the 'plug doors' on the B737-MAX9's as described in the video uploaded by KARFA -

Its not an option on the 737 max 8I could me mistaken (easily done I hasten to add) but thought I had read somewhere that the FR Max did have the same doors. I really hope they aren't affected
As I've posted above, the doors are different on the B737-MAX8-200 to those of the B737-MAX9 and all is explained in the video posted by KARFA -I could me mistaken (easily done I hasten to add) but thought I had read somewhere that the FR Max did have the same doors.

I thought the Ryanair X account was trying to provoke a response by talking about "plug-in devices a couple of days back.Whilst there were no serious physical injuries, the whole experience would have been very traumatic and many passengers would have suffered from this.

Sorry, Aviador I don't know. I never go to X, Facebook, TikTok or any of the other similar sites.I thought the Ryanair X account was trying to provoke a response by talking about "plug-in devices a couple of days back.
Has someone gotten out the wrong side of the bed this morning? I only asked FFS. Did not need a sarcastic replyIf you would read the relevant thread, where the conversation is taking place, you would know this.
The max9s are that little bit longer than the max8s so have the optional extra emergency door which is what blew out.Discussion ongoing here -

It's nothing to do with enhancing an old airframe. It's about quality control. No aircraft should be in the air with the retaining bolts not tightened and IF it left the Boeing factory that way, then they need to up their game and be quick about it.The max9s are that little bit longer than the max8s so have the optional extra emergency door which is what blew out.
Wow mcas, rudder issues and now there not even bolted together correctly. I've said it before trying to enhance an old airframe does not work!
Not at all! I had posted links to The Ramp Forum > Air Accidents and Incidents Discussions thread, which answers all of the questions regarding the different emergency door/plug door options on the B737-900NG and the B737-MAX8-200 and B737-MAX9. I posted this on this thread, 3 1/2 hours before you asked a question which would have been answered if you had only viewed the links provided. I find it really annoying when members wont look at information provided, or even view threads outside of 'their airport forum' and then ask questions that have already been answered.Has someone gotten out the wrong side of the bed this morning?
