TUI Air brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 with registration G-TUMH named “Skiathos”. Unfortunately the plane is waiting at Boeing Field airport (KBFI/BFI) to be delivered to TUI Air, since the aircraft type is grounded after the Ethiopian crash a few months ago.
Boeing made all software updates and changes and now the airlines all around the world are waiting for the approval by regulatory authorities to resume flight operations for Boeing 737 MAX.

On 1 April 2019 one more test flight performed locally at Boeing Field (BFI) using once more call sign “BOEING-867”. Since then it’s parked at Boeing Field (BFI) waiting for the delivery flight.
