Where are the SilkAir 737 MAX aircraft flying?

More legroom and freshly brewed coffee in business class, device holders and USB charging in economy. We'd try to pick the 737 MAX whenever flying SilkAir.

Note: 11th March 2019. Owing to recent events this article from April 2018 is attracting some increased attention. SilkAir now has six Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in service (9V-MBA to -MBF). The destination list remains as per the map above, with the exception of Fuzhou which is no longer served by the MAX.

In addition, selected Penang flights (2 per week) and selected Wuhan flights (4 per week) also use the MAX. The schedules below may no longer be accurate.

Our sincere condolences to those affected by the recent tragic 737 MAX accidents.
