News

There were no big announcements from Boeing today on the commercial aircraft front, reflecting the current problems with the MAX, the week-end 787 fire suppression controversy, delays for the GE9X powering the 777X, and continued study of business case for the NMA.  Some in the media are making this out as a disaster for Boeing, but that simply isn’t the case.

Boeing has a crisis with the 737 MAX that it is working through, and restoring that aircraft to service has become the company’s priority.  The company is still working on the NMA, and is open to rebranding of the MAX.

Analysis

Boeing’s backlog of 4,000 plus 737 MAX aircraft, along with its successful 787, will provide the company the momentum it needs once the MAX re-enters service.  The FAA

, trying to satisfy international regulators and maintain the reciprocity system that has worked well for many years, is waiting on an international consensus before returning the MAX to service, as it cannot be the sole agency approving re-entry into service without appearing to have home country favoritism.  As a result, the MAX will likely not return until December.
