South Africa's FlySafair reveals B737 MAX fleet plans
Headline on ch.aviation...only site finding something like this, of course behind paywall. Can't find any other reference to this yet. Seems ch.aviation a lot of the time know more before mainstream media.

Any insight into this for FlySafair and getting Max's?

The free bit of their article:
FlySafair will have to migrate to the Boeing B737 MAX sometime after 2024 when second-hand options of the type become more affordable, says Chief Marketing

Sounds incredibly optomistic. I wouldn't expect the first Max's to be coming off leases around 2026.

There were quite a few being remarked due during and after the COVID fallout, but those have mostly been swept up already.

I hear Cemair getting another DH8C as well, should be departing NB-LLW-JNB.

Also, ZS-CMZ CRJ7 going on lease to Intercarribean.

@miles, can you give us any more info?
