2 Boeing 737 MAXs Not Taken By Royal Air Maroc Now Bound For Icelandair
非皇家马罗克航空公司的2架波音737 MAX飞往冰岛航空公司
As Royal Air Maroc decided to cancel the remainder of its Boeing 737 MAX order, the two jets destined for the carrier had to find a new home. Meanwhile, there is no shortage of customers waiting for MAXs. The two aircraft snubbed by RAM will go instead to Iceland's flag carrier Icelandair and get to wear its new colorful fin livery representing local natural phenomena.
摩洛哥皇家航空公司取消剩余的波音737 MAX订单，这两架预定用于该航空公司的喷气式飞机不得不寻找新的雇主。与此同时，并不缺少喜爱波音737 MAX的客户。这两架被摩洛哥皇家航空公司拒绝的飞机将改飞冰岛的旗舰航空公司——冰岛航空公司，并绘制上代表当地自然景观的新的彩色尾翼。
TF-ICL already hopping about across the pond
TF-ICL飞机已经准备出发
The two three-year-old MAX 8 aircraft are now registered as TF-ICL and TF-ICM. They have a two-seat configuration with 16 business class seats and 144 seats in the main cabin. The first of the two, TF-ICL, was ferried from Seattle to Reykjavik on June 30. It has already entered revenue service with the airline, ferrying passengers between the Icelandic capital and places on both sides of the Atlantic, including Paris, Oslo, Chicago, and Montreal.
这两架三年前预定的MAX 8飞机现在注册为TF-ICL和TF-ICM。这两架飞机配有2个座位，16个商务舱座位以及144个座位的主舱。第一艘TF-ICL飞机于6月30日从西雅图出发途经雷克雅未克。目前，该架飞机已经参与到航空公司的营运服务，运送包括巴黎，奥斯陆，芝加哥和蒙特利尔等位于冰岛首都及其周围地区与大西洋两岸的乘客。
The second most recent addition to Icelandair's MAX collection is yet to arrive in the island nation. It is still only operating flights between Boeing facilities in Washington state. It is unclear when it will be handed over to the airline. When it does, Icelandair's MAX fleet will consist of ten jets, with another two on the way to complete the first order. Initially, the carrier had ordered 16, with a mix of both 8s and 9s. However, this was scaled back to 12, only to be re-upped this summer through lease agreements with a total commitment for 20 aircraft.
冰岛航空MAX系列的第二个新的飞机成员尚未抵达该国。它目前仍只负责华盛顿州的波音设施之间的运营。目前尚不清楚何时会移交给航空公司。届时，10架喷气式飞机将组成冰岛航空公司的MAX机队，另外两架在第一批订单定制当中。最初，该航空公司订购了16架飞机，其中包括型号8和型号9。然而，今年夏天通过租赁协议订单缩减到12架，承诺共20架飞机。
Could there be a different order from RAM?
是否有与RAM机型顺序不同？
Meanwhile, this means that Royal Air Maroc will, for now, remain with the two Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft it took before the type's grounding in 2019. CN-MAX and CN-MAY operate out of the airline's base in Casablanca to destinations such as London, Cairo, Paris, and Agadir. They were brought back into service in July 2021, following the MAXs recertification and re-training of the airline's pilots to correspond to new requirements and stipulations.
同时，摩洛哥皇家航空目前仍将保留2019年停飞该机型之前购买的两架波音737 MAX 8飞机。CN-MAX和CN-MAY会从卡萨布兰卡的航空公司基地出发，飞往伦敦、开罗、巴黎和阿加迪尔等地。2021年7月，两架飞机在MAX重新认证，并重新培训航空公司飞行员来适应新的要求和规定后，然后重新投入使用这些飞机。
While this order was canceled, the Moroccan flag carrier still intends to update the rest of its narrowbody jets, consisting of 28 Boeing 737-800s that are closing in on an average of 15 years. According to Morocco World News, the airline will soon launch a tender to renew the fleet.
虽然订单被取消，但摩洛哥旗舰航空公司仍打算更新28架波音737-800在内的剩余窄体喷气式飞机，这些飞机的平均寿命接近15年。据《摩洛哥世界报》报道，该航空公司将很快将启动更新机队招标项目。
The MAX is certainly making its mark on Icelandair's operations. In a recent interview with Simple Flying, the airline's CEO, Bogi Nils Bogason, commented,
MAX机型无疑在冰岛航空的运营中留下了标记。该航空公司的首席执行官Bogi Nils Bogason在最近接受Simple Flying采访时评论道：
“We were assuming the MAX would cover Europe and the destinations on the East Coast of North America, but they have been exceeding our expectations in that respect. We are using the MAX on routes like Orlando and Seattle.”
“我们原以为MAX机型将覆盖欧洲和北美东海岸的目的地，但目前已经超出了我们的预期。我们在奥兰多和西雅图等航线上已经开始使用MAX。”
