Boost For Boeing As BA Owner Backs Grounded 737 MAX Jet

Description

According to Reuters, Boeing won a major vote of confidence at the Paris Airshow on Tuesday as British Airways owner IAG signed a letter of intent to buy 200 of its 737 MAX aircraft that have been grounded since March after two deadly crashes. Airbus, the current supplier of IAG’s British Airways, was stunned by the announcement which came months after it lost a major BA wide-body aircraft order to its U.S. rival. Industry sources said it seemed unlikely the European company had been offered a chance to bid.
