- New Boeing finally gets going, 15 years after debut
Boeing's 737-7 MAX, delayed for 15 years after its announcement and seven years after production began, received FAA certification following technical fixes linked to past 737-8 MAX crashes. The plane's limited appeal stems from its unique configuration, but it competes with Airbus and Embraer in the regional jet market. Allegiant Airlines committed to purchasing the model in 2022.
- Airlines are still willing to bet on Boeing, and the biggest aviation show of the year proves it
Boeing outperformed Airbus in order tallies at the Farnborough Airshow, signaling renewed airline confidence under CEO Kelly Ortberg. Despite ongoing challenges like the delayed 777X and order backlogs, Boeing reported increased revenue and deliveries, though it still faces financial losses and a declining stock price.
