WestJet Increases European Transatlantic Boeing 737 MAX Flights By 19% To New High

The carrier plans a record 17 European routes in the coming summer.

Duffy asserted that Boeing, which has yet to produce 38 737 MAXs per month, is not there yet to allow the FAA to lift the production rate cap.

Many airlines are confident the MAX will be a great aircraft, and its issues are not considered bad enough to switch to the A320neo.

Virgin Australia’s oldest aircraft is more than 21 years old.

Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Airbus A320neo leasing rates are almost the same, while the Airbus A321neo comes with an added premium.

The A320 family of commercial jets is set to overtake the Boeing 737 to become the most delivered in 2025.

The carrier has taken on a bold new network strategy.

The FAA has mandated either replacements, inspections, or swaps with serviceable fan cowls for all Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) aircraft.

Boeing has failed to ramp up 737 deliveries over the last few years to match those of its last ‘normal’ year in 2018.

The carrier will now serve 20 airports in the US and Canada, including in the US territory of Puerto Rico.
