About the Boeing 737 MAX 10
The 737-10 first flew on June 18, 2021. Boeing lists a length of 43.8 meters, compared with 42.1 meters for the 737-9. Both use CFM LEAP-1B engines. The longer fuselage gives airlines more room to arrange seating or cabin service areas within a single-aisle layout. Boeing announced FAA type certification in October 2026.
Seating capacity
Boeing lists 185–210 seats in two classes and gives 230 as its maximum seat figure. Its airport planning manual illustrates a 204-seat mixed-class layout, with 16 Business and 188 Economy seats, and a separate 230-seat single-class layout. Boeing labels both cabin drawings preliminary. The operating airline’s map shows the configuration for your flight.
Cabin layout
A single aisle runs through the cabin. Boeing’s mixed-class drawing puts Business at the front and Economy behind it. The two drawings show different distances between rows and include galleys and lavatories. The seat count alone does not reveal which seats are next to an exit or a window. Check the row and seat letter in your airline’s plan.
How to recognize a Boeing 737 MAX 10
Look for a long, narrow fuselage and one engine under each wing. Boeing’s listed length is 1.7 meters greater than the MAX 9’s. Comparable side views can help you judge that difference, while perspective can make it hard to see in a single photo. Use the registration to confirm the exact model.
Variants and related aircraft
The FAA lists the 737 MAX 10 under B3XM. The shorter MAX 9 and MAX 8 use B39M and B38M, respectively. If a listing says only 737 MAX, check the model number before choosing the radar filter.
