A new Boeing 737 MAX 8 for Aerolíneas Argentinas has begun its delivery flight to Buenos Aires. The aircraft, which will bear the Argentine registration LV-KNQ, departed from Boeing's facilities at Boeing Field (BFI) in Seattle, to embark on the journey that will integrate it into the company's short- and medium-haul fleet.
This aircraft is a key component of the state-owned airline's ongoing modernization plan. The addition of LV-KNQ allows the company to advance the replacement of older Boeing 737-800NG aircraft, offering greater fuel efficiency and a reduced noise and CO2 emissions footprint.
The delivery flight typically includes two technical stops for refueling, with Miami and Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in the Dominican Republic being common stopovers on these journeys before covering the final leg to Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) in Buenos Aires.
What new aircraft is Aerolíneas Argentinas incorporating? A Boeing 737 MAX 8, which will receive the registration LV-KNQ.
How many 737 MAX does Aerolíneas Argentinas have? With the arrival of LV-KNQ, the active fleet of this model is consolidated, continuing its expansion. The exact number fluctuates with deliveries.
What are the advantages of the 737 MAX? It consumes approximately 14% less fuel than its predecessor, the 737-800NG, has a longer range, and generates less noise.
The narrow-body fleet of Aerolíneas Argentinas is primarily composed of E1 Series Embraer E190AR and the Boeing 737 family, including the -700, -800, and MAX 8 versions. The arrival of new MAX units is fundamental to maintaining competitiveness on domestic and regional routes, where the model offers lower operating costs and an improved passenger experience with Boeing Sky Interior cabins.
Once LV-KNQ arrives in Buenos Aires, it must complete the nationalization procedures with the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC) before its official entry into commercial service. The aircraft is expected to begin operating within the company's destination network in the coming days, reinforcing existing frequencies and optimizing fleet utilization.
