Boeing wins massive 737 Max jets order

By Scott Reeves in New York | China Daily | Updated: 2019-06-20 07:20

Boeing has announced the sale of 200 737 Max jets to International Airlines Group, ending a wave of cancellations and a sales drought following the worldwide grounding in March of the aircraft after two fatal crashes.

IAG, owner of British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus, made the announcement on Tuesday at the Paris Air Show. The new, fuel-efficient planes will be flown by budget units Level and Vueling.

"This is a vote of confidence in the Boeing 737 Max," aviation consultant Robert Mann told China Daily. "I think (IAG CEO) Willie Walsh drove the bargain of a lifetime."
