Amid global shifts in supply chains and market realignments, Malaysia Aviation Group is currently engaged in talks with American aviation giant Boeing $BA regarding the acquisition of new aircraft. This possibility hinges on the condition that Chinese carriers discontinue their deliveries—a factor confirmed by the company's managing director in a statement to Malaysia's state news agency. Additionally, reports indicate that Boeing is recalling some of its 737 MAX aircraft from China back to the United States, a move that could reshape future negotiations.
Boeing has once again found itself at the center of industry discussions by clarifying misconceptions regarding its 737 MAX production figures. In a statement released Tuesday, Boeing refuted media reports hinting at production disruptions. The company asserted that its monthly output for 737 MAX has never reached 38 aircraft, nor has there been a recent decline in production. This position stands in stark contrast to earlier reports by industry outlet The Air Current. Initially, The Air Current reported that in February the production rate for Boeing’s best-selling aircraft hit 38 units per month, only to later drop to 31 units due to delays in installing wing systems.
For the first time in nearly two years, American aerospace giant Boeing $BA has delivered more aircraft than its European rival Airbus SE $AIR.PA. This milestone marks an encouraging shift for Boeing, a company that has grappled with prolonged strikes, logistical disruptions, and the lingering effects of the pandemic.
