FLEET UPDATE: Aerolineas Argentinas received its 4th 737 MAX 8 on 25Feb18

Aerolineas Argentinas' fourth 737 MAX 8, LV-HKV (c/n 44294/6807), arrived at Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) on 25Feb18 on its delivery flight from Boeing Field (BFI) via Punta Cana (PUJ).

Aerolineas is due to receive only one more 737 MAX 8 in 2018 for a total of five of the model with apparently no more on order by the carrier.   

UPDATE & CORRECTION ON 03Mar18:

Reader Matias Muse pointed out that Aerolineas Argentinas actually has six more MAX series aircraft on order, for a total of 11, with the option of choosing which model for the remaining six to be delivered, MAX 7, MAX 8, MAX 200, MAX 9 or MAX 10, as noted by the leading British aviation publication, Flight International:

  1. Thank you Matias....I also read 11 on order a couple of months ago but everything I have read since then has said only 5. I think the confusion is because Aerolineas ordered 11 MAX series with the first 5 being MAX 8's but with the airline having the option of choosing different MAX models for the remaining 6, at least according to Flight International: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/aerolineas-argentinas-receives-third-737-max-8-445268/
