The current C series does not really compete with the 737MAX for most routes, that is one of the absurd things about Boeing’s trade dispute. Boeing does not have a 737MAX small enough to overlap the CS is a 717compwtitor which they don’t make anymore anyway. It was all about what could be, not really about the CS as it is available today.
- wahern 9y agoAccording to Wikipedia the CS300 has the same seating capacity as the 737MAX 7. The CS300 has a shorter range--3,300 nmi vs 3,825 nmi. OTOH, I imagine it's a lighter plane and much more fuel efficient. Is the range a big deal for most customers? Or are the CS300 numbers not realistic to put it in the same class as the 737MAX 7?
- rpiguy 9y agoYou are right the high end of the CS300 competes with the low end of the 737. I was thinking of the actual trade dispute Boeing filed which was over the sale of CS100 aircraft to Delta, which actually does not compete with the 737.
