Spotting 737 MAX aircraft in the air these days is relatively rare. Boeing continues to run occasional test flights, in addition to moving planes to out of the way airports as it stores new build frames. United Airlines is moving its fleet to Goodyear Airport on the west side of Phoenix, Arizona this in a move that it suggests is tied to storage needs and eventually preparing to return the planes to service. And then there's a single plane flying around northern Canada for some strange reason.

M-Flex Duet: The new business class inflight bar

1 April 2019 By Seth Miller 1 Comment

The new M-Flex Duet from Collins Aerospace delivers a self-service bar area in flight using existing floor space, a great option for airlines looking to up their game a little in premium cabins.

When it comes to delivering a flashy business class experience in the sky self-service bar and snack areas tend to be popular. Collins Aerospace hopes its new M-Flex™ Duet monument can convert otherwise unused space on board into a more useful and welcoming area.
