The new Jet Airways Boeing 737 MAX. Exclusive cabin photos.

Yesterday, Bangalore Aviation was invited to view India’s first Boeing 737 MAX. VT-JXA was delivered to Jet Airways on June 20, 2018.

Jet Airways has configured its 737 MAX 8 in a two class cabin carrying 174 passengers; 12 in business and 162 in economy. The aircraft which is the first of a 225 aircraft order is fitted with a brand new cabin product reflective of many modern passenger amenities.

Business class

The business class is configured in a standard 2-2 layout with three rows. The seats are in a light blue (one might say teal) leather.

Economy class

The economy class is 27 rows in a standard 3-3 layout featuring new slimline seats upholstered in a darker blue faux leather. The slimline seats give a feeling of greater legroom compared to the older generation seating.

Jet Airways has saved space by opting for the new slimline restrooms. So plan on relieving yourself either before or after the flight.
