Paris: Boeing won a key endorsement from United Airlines for the latest model of its best-selling 737 on Tuesday and struck an upbeat tone by raising its 20-year industry demand forecast despite signs the pace of growth is slowing.
The 737 MAX continues to be the fastest-selling airplane in Boeing history, accumulating more than 3 700 orders to date. "New narrow-body introductions are exciting".
"I don't think we have a real competitor to worry about there". The fact is that a bigger simple stretch Boeing 737 MAX member has always had preference with airlines and the MAX 10 should help Boeing securing business that it would otherwise have easily lost to Airbus. Then GECAS announced the purchase of twenty 737 MAX 10 jets, worth about 2.25 billion euros (list price). The measure, known as book-to-bill, fell below one during 2015 and 2016 as sales slumped for the Chicago-based manufacturer amid falling oil prices. The MAX rollout helped the United States company beat Europe's Airbus in new-plane orders at the Paris Airshow. While Airbus and Boeing dominate the world's civil aviation industry, the duopoly is not without challengers: competition is looming, notably from Russian Federation and China, which have been test-flying their own midrange models.
"There will be more 777s that we can talk about as time marches on", he told a news conference. In March this year Ryanair took delivery of its 450 Next-Generation 737-800 and with today's announcement has ordered a total of more than 640 airplanes from Boeing.
The company thus became the first Boeing 737 MAX operator in Romania. Ltd., Japan Investment Adviser Co. and BOC Aviation Ltd.
Boeing announced on Monday what it claims will be the most efficient jet yet in the highly competitive civil aviation market as it tries to claw back market share from rival Airbus.

At the talks, Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson hosted Chinese foreign policy chief Yang Jiechi and Gen. The new government in South Korea has repeatedly said it wants to use both sanctions and dialogue to rein Kim in.
"In fact, frankly, we look at the demand for really big airplanes and we find it hard to believe that Airbus will be able to deliver the rest of their A380s in backlog", Marketing Vice-President Randy Tinseth said in a briefing.
The Max series is oversold through 2020, and capacity is finite for the model favored by budget carriers, Slattery said in an interview.
Planemakers also see growing opportunities in aviation services.
However, Leahy said it would be hard for countries to make billions of dollars of investments over decades to get the product line and support network up to scratch. "We had expected they would have had a bigger launch on the 737 MAX 10, not quite as many conversions, more incremental orders".
French President Emmanuel Macron officially opened the biennial Paris Air Show, arriving on a Airbus A400M military transport plane.
Still, the order flurry - logged during sweltering conditions in Paris - included large numbers of conversions from previous orders and commitments that may not ever materialize.
