CNN: Airlines Boycott Boeing

In April, Boeing received no orders for its aircraft.

According to CNN, Boeing did not receive a single order for the planes throughout April. And this is not only true for the 737 MAX. There were no applications for passenger liners from airlines at all.

Probably, the reason for this situation is related precisely to the 737 MAX model. The aircraft's MCAS system, which prevents stalling, sometimes triggered falsely, causing the plane to rush to the ground. After the crash of 737 in Ethiopia, which became the second in six months, the flights of this plane were suspended all over the world. Now Boeing is solving this problem. It is understandable that airlines do not want to deal with the 737 MAX, but other models produced by the companies do not have such problems.

The crash of 737 MAX Ethiopian Airlines occurred on March 10th. Some airlines still made orders, however, on other aircraft. So on March 15, Lufthansa ordered twenty Boeing 787 Dreamliners. A week later, British Airways acquired eighteen 777Xs with folding wingtips.

According to analysts, airlines are in no hurry to place orders for new planes in the hope that due to the situation with the 737 MAX, Boeing will reduce prices for liners.
