  • IcelandairPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 17, 2026

    Current Icelandair page publishes 160 seats for the MAX 8, 178 for the MAX 9, Saga Premium and Economy dimensions, a 21-aircraft MAX fleet, and the current type-specific tail roster.

    Direct curl returned a Cloudflare challenge; the snapshot is a rendered-text extract. The page's single diagram is the 160-seat MAX 8, so the MAX 9 row grid is not treated as published.

  • IcelandairPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 17, 2026

    Official 160-passenger 737 MAX diagram publishes four full 2-2 Saga Premium rows, twenty-four full 3-3 Economy rows numbered 5-28, over-wing exits at rows 12-13, and cabin monuments.

    The live Icelandair CDN timed out from this environment; the official SVG bytes were recovered through the Wayback raw-bytes endpoint. The diagram says 737-MAX and 160 passengers; the airline page identifies 160 as its MAX 8 configuration.

  • WikipediaINDEPENDENT SOURCERetrieved Jul 17, 2026

    The current fleet table publishes 16J/144Y for MAX 8, 16J/162Y for MAX 9, both 22J/161Y and 20J/164Y for 757-200, and 25J/237Y for 767-300ER.

    The table's 757 fleet count lags Icelandair's live July roster, so it is used for cabin splits only, not current airframe count.

  • Boeing Commercial AirplanesPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 17, 2026

    Boeing's July 2025 737 MAX airport-planning manual identifies the 737-8 and 737-9 variants and publishes their passenger-door and over-wing-exit geometry.

    Manufacturer engineering geometry does not establish Icelandair row numbering or cabin counts.

How this map was built

CURRENT CONFIG: Icelandair publishes 160 seats and the live roster lists 17 MAX 8s; Wikipedia supplies the 16J/144Y split. PUBLISHED MAP: Icelandair's official 160-passenger SVG enumerates four full 2-2 Saga Premium rows (1-4) and twenty-four full 3-3 Economy rows (5-28), with over-wing exits at rows 12-13 and forward/aft monuments. The airline page identifies 160 seats as the MAX 8, so the otherwise generic '737-MAX' diagram is bound to this variant. DIMENSIONS: Saga Premium 40 in pitch / 20.5 in width; Economy 31-32 in pitch / 17.2 in width. RATINGS: the diagram and cited pages publish no seat-specific advantages or drawbacks, so every seat remains baseline standard rather than adding inferred warnings. WINDOWS: the exact 737-max8 engineering grid is bound; only script-applied high-confidence structural blanks may override unknown, and the published schematic itself is not treated as window-alignment evidence.
