The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to the runway for 8 minutes, covering 1 nm, and departed from runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. Take-off used 1,844 m (61 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 155 kt. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 8 kt from 260°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 27 seconds, averaging 1,732 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,312 ft asl to 32,511 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 98 nm, beginning 1 mile south-east of Birchanger. Cruise was level at 33,000 ft asl for 52 minutes, covering 443 nm, beginning 7 miles north-west of Fort-Mardyck. Descent from 32,973 ft asl to 1,309 ft asl took 30 minutes and covered 152 nm, starting overhead Lasa.

Final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport began with a descent from 1,346 ft agl to 97 ft agl in 98 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,109 ft agl with 194 kt, and final flap position 7 at 1,381 ft agl with 165 kt.

Landing on runway 04R (length 3,291 m) had a threshold height of 59 ft agl, slightly above target, and a threshold speed of 146 kt, judged good. The flare was described as excellent, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 173 m beyond the touchdown zone at 139 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 220 fpm, judged fair. The touchdown point was 3.1 m off the centreline, and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,859 m (57 % of the runway). Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 5 minutes, covering 1 nm. The flight covered 703 nm in 109 minutes and used 3,637 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 17 °C with wind 8 kt from 050°, giving a 1 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind.
