Boeing, Malaysia Airlines Announce Order for up to 50 737 MAX Airplanes
MAX will play big role in national carrier’s new growth plan
Malaysia Airlines has announced an order for 25 Boeing 737 MAX 8 airplanes. The deal is valued at $2.75 billion dollars at current list prices. The order also includes purchase rights for additional 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 9 airplanes.

“This deal is a game-changer for Malaysia Airlines with much lower costs and greater efficiency which we will pass on to our loyal customers with lower fares,” said Peter Bellew, Malaysia Airlines’ Chief Executive Officer. “With the 737 MAX’s longer range capabilities, we will be able to connect our passengers to more destinations, in greater comfort and with superior economics.”

The Malaysian national carrier has operated almost every derivative of the 737 airplane family and took delivery of its 100th 737 in December 2014. Malaysia Airlines currently operates more than 50 737-800s.

“The 737 MAX will continue the superior operating economics and reliability of the 737 that Malaysia Airlines has depended for more than 40 years,” said Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president, Asia Pacific & India Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

The 737 MAX will deliver 20 percent lower fuel use than the first Next-Generation 737s and the lowest operating costs in its class – 8 percent per seat less than its nearest competitor. The new single-aisle airplane incorporates the latest technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets and other improvements to deliver the highest efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort in the single-aisle market.

so MH370 was under 737 MAX 8?

But the quick discovery has sparked fury over the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

The Boeing 777 remains missing more than four years after it disappeared off radars with 239 people on board.

Flight 370 had been en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China on March 8, 2014 when it lost contact with Malaysia Airlines 38 minutes into the flight.

Moments later it was then lost from Air Traffic Control radar screens, but was tracked by military radar for another hour, flying way off its planned flight path.

777-200er

I will check the aircraft model for the routes I fly before booking the tickets.

China Aviation grounded all MAX flight

CN received over 60 planes of this type..

Probably problematic craft with nose dive software that overwrite pilot decision

Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines 737Max crash really cause an issue for Boeing tho.

first it was their B787 dreamliner mid-air engine shutdown.
now their B737Max

I won't fly 737 Max, that's for sure.

An aircraft that does not have back up systems in case of that Lion air disaster, is a flying coffin to disaster.

Pretty irresponsible of Boeing for withholding those info and not having fail safe systems.

Disappointed ! I always trusted Boeing but this time around, they are a let down.

2nd time for B737 Max

how old is this aircraft ? 2 years old ?

And the tered is back on the right track. Talking about the right thing..

I tried to follow the posting trend of poster no.1 and 2 and 3 and got deleted.

Your thread was deleted because you posted a spam.

Omg

Usually it’s due to combination of factors such as misunderstanding in technical engineering, pilot error and manufacturer defect.

But if Boeing still has insuffient steps to address lion air crash then better stay away from that 737 max

GG, even my company wechat group advice not to take 737-MAX airbus/airplane.
