The top four U.S. carriers didn't order new jets from the U.S. manufacturer in the last few years. In the last few years, most of its new orders have come from the same company.
“We are proud that Delta is renewing its single-aisle fleet with the 737 MAX, Boeing’s most fuel-efficient family of airplanes. Built in our factory in Washington state…the 737-10 will provide Delta with the best economics to carry more passengers across its short and medium-haul routes.”
Stan Deal, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes
The next-generation LEAP-1B engines will power Delta's Boeing MAX 10 jets. Premium seating will make up almost one-third of the MAX's 182 seats, with 20 customers in First Class, 33 in Delta Comfort+ and129 in Main Cabin.
There is a December deadline for the US manufacturer to get approval for the MAX 10 aircraft. New cockpit alerting requirements must be met. Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Stan Deal thinks that Boeing will win approval by the end of the year.
“I feel confident about getting through this as we approach the end of the year. If it takes a little more time, we’re going to go back to Congress and ask for that time.”
The president and CEO of Boeing is Stan Deal.
In case of delay in certification, the agreement has adequate protection in place, including allowing Delta to shift to another model of the MAX family.
