  • 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.

  • 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 178 seats and the live roster lists four MAX 9s; Wikipedia supplies the 16J/162Y split. DERIVED GRID: Icelandair's current page serves only its 160-seat MAX 8 diagram, not a MAX 9 map. This file therefore uses four full 2-2 Saga Premium rows (1-4) and twenty-seven full 3-3 Economy rows (5-31), the simplest exact reconciliation of the published counts. Row numbers, cabin boundary, monuments and over-wing exit-row assignment are derived from the count arithmetic and Boeing MAX 9 geometry, not an Icelandair-published MAX 9 map. DIMENSIONS: Icelandair publishes the shared MAX cabin figures: Saga Premium 40 in pitch / 20.5 in width; Economy 31-32 in pitch / 17.2 in width. RATINGS: no seat-specific advantages or drawbacks are asserted. WINDOWS: data/window-grids contains no 737-max9 grid, so aircraft.windowGridType is deliberately omitted and every window position remains unknown.
