Multiple sources are reported Boeing and Spicejet are nearing a 737 MAX order which should be announced during the 2019 Dubai Airshow.
SpiceJet is an Indian-based low-cost carrier with 13 737 MAX 8s in their fleet and 193 on order. I believe they are the second-largest MAX operator in the world, behind Southwest Airlines.
I will have to disagree. With the whole grounding thing, it has caused airlines to loose massive amounts of money. This will most likely be a loss before it can be a profit.
I have to disagree with you @Mattheus, the 737 MAX is in many was a good and versatile aircraft, very fuel efficient with a long range, even though it’s been involved in two accidents I’m certain that the aircraft will serve airlines reliable for years, once it’s re certified
The DC-10 went on and has served many airlines reliable for years, even though Mc Donnell Dauglas never fully recovered from its missteps. The De Havilland Comet is a different story, as it was the first, where everything was innovation, meaning everything was new, where there were no knowledge about creating a jet aircraft, while the 737 MAX is a new type of a successful aircraft
True, but who is not to say that history will repeat itself. Trust me, I don’t hate the Max. I just think that it is going to lose money before it can make money.
Enough arguing before it becomes another one of these threads.
