They have outstanding orders for around 5000 737 MAXes. Assuming they get them reapproved some time soon, keeping the production going to not fall too far behind their delivery schedule will likely have saved them a fortune in late-fees.
- alexis_fr 7y agoEspecially if they rename it and sell it under a new brand. I’d go for a “737 Neo”, only nerds can make the difference (even between a Boeing and an Airbus).
- Symbiote 7y agoWith Boeing in the news all the time, I've paid a lot more attention to the aircraft. For the 737/A320-size plane, it's now easy to tell: - If the plane has a nice, spacious interior, it's an Airbus. The flight will be quiet. - If the plane is crampt, it's a Boeing, and it will be a bit noisier. I still don't really think about it when booking the flight. Schedule and price are more important.
- Kipters 7y ago> I still don't really think about it when booking the flight. Schedule and price are more important. To be honest I do: I often fly MIL-PMO and when possible I book Alitalia and easyJet flights, or Air Italy since they've been leasing two A319s from Bulgaria Air to replace their MAX 8s, rather than Ryanair specifically because their fleet is composed of Airbus aircrafts instead of Boeing (and also because Ryanair won't stop selling you stuff during the whole flight, worsening the noise situation) I'm in MXP right now to catch a Ryanair flight and I just hope my ANC headphones won't abandon me mid-flight.
