After a traumatic two years for Boeing and its 737 Max programme, some of the airframer’s top customers have signed up for hundreds more of the jets, delivering key endorsements as the type returns to service.
Notably, Southwest Airlines’ decision, disclosed on 29 March, to replace 737-700s with 737 Max 7s came after follow-on Max orders from key customers Ryanair and United Airlines.

Blue Air registered last year a pandemic loss of over 60 million Euro, while in 2019 it saw 11 million Euro in profit, declared, for AGERPRES, Oana Petrescu, the CEO of the Romanian private flight operator. Basically, our pandemic loss was over 60 million Euro, just as we foresaw when we made the credit request towards the state. A year prior we became profitable, we managed to reach a profit of 11 million Euro, and in 2020 we had to cover all losses from our accelerated expansion. Unfortunately, the pandemic set us back two years, but we are certain that we will recover, Oana Petrescu said.
