Few aircraft elicit as much controversy as the Boeing 737 Max . In December, over 900 airports in more than 170 countries will see the 737 MAX 8 or 737 MAX 9. The world has an average of 5,490 roundtrip MAX flights a day.
Obviously, the US is vital. Due to Southwest, United, American, and more, 44 in every 100 services are to, from, and within the country. The US has seven times more services than India, the second most-served country for activity.
It has 375 fewer flights than last December. The world's top 10 MAX airports Eight of the leading facilities are in the US. They are so dominant globally that they account for 31% of the world's activity.
Denver is the world's leading MAX airport. This is thanks to it being Southwest's most-served airport and a critical United hub (second by flights, first by seats). However, due to the extent of Denver's overall activity, MAX aircraft 'only' operate one in seven services.
The bog-standard 737-800 is still more common. Baltimore was in the top table last year, replaced by San Francisco. As you can see, Dubai and Mexico City are the only non-US entries.
Thanks to Dubai's MAX flights rising by a fifth year-on-year (double the average of the top 10 facilities), it has jumped two places to second place in a year. What about other continents and regions? London Stansted is the busiest European airport for MAX flights (due to Ryanair; the airport ranks 17th globally) Panama City is first in Central America (COPA; 19th globally) São Pau.
