Getting the airline industry going again will definitely be tough.
I think that having the 737 MAX on the fleets will really make very little difference to the majority of customers, who book holidays based on destination and price.
Many will be concerned about the MAX incidents and Boeing sharp practices, but not enough to hurt the airlines running them
- firebaze 6y agoI'm not so sure. I think this depends on the price difference between a flight with a Boeing and any other plane. Almost everybody has heard from the issues with Boeing, and if they can spend a few $ more to "feel safe", quite a few will do so I suppose. And with the already very small margins in the large-volume-budget-price segment, it'll be hard to reduce prices even more to counter that effect. As soon as Boeing stays out of news for some period of time or if another airliner brand has a significant, newsworthy accident it will be forgotten though, I'd guess.
