Unfortunately consumers don't have much choice, the airline can change which type operates a flight at any time.
However longer term if Boeing's reputation keeps getting worse that can motivate buying decisions by the airlines. That change will be a very slow one, because fleet changes cost a lot of money in training crews, changing maintenance etc.
For example KLM is changing their short-haul fleet from the 737 NG to the A320neo family, that will take many years to completely roll out.
- neverartful 3y agoTrue, but some airlines probably don't have any in their fleet. If worried consumers find out they could opt to not fly on those airlines.
- bilbo0s 3y agoMost airlines do have MAXs. Delta does not. However, they have ordered some MAXs. So they will have MAXs in the future. That will take quite some time however. So if it's really that big of an issue for a person, then just fly Delta for the time being.
- plopz 3y agospirit doesn't have any of these in their fleet, but it's not the most comfortable flight
- chriskanan 3y agoDelta doesn't have any currently, although they ordered a bunch of the MAX family that will be delivered from 2025 - 2029. It will probably be impossible to avoid them, long-term.
