Boeing expects to lose 150 737 MAX orders in 2020

Boeing has revealed that in March it was expecting to lose 150 pre-orders for its 737 MAX aircraft. This rise in cancellations has been the result of the global COVID-19 impact, with many airlines adjusting the number of aircraft they’re operating and reducing any additional expenditures, during the global lockdown.

“Boeing cotinues to adjust its order book to adapt to the lower-than-planned 737 MAX production in the near term”, a company spokesman said.

A reflection of the crisis now facing Boeing is that the manufacturer received just 49 orders for its commercial aircraft in the first quarter of 2020.
