Airbus's biggest-capacity member of the mid-range family, the brand new A321neo, is able to fit in 236 seats in an all-economy class version. On Monday, Boeing said GE Capital Aviation Services, the aircraft leasing and financing division of General Electric Co., will convert orders for 20 Max 9 planes to Max 10s. The airplanes, including 737 MAX 10 and 737 MAX 8 airplanes, are valued at approximately $2.5 billion at current list prices.
PARIS Airbus is preparing to roll out a novel A380 wingtip design to rally support for the world's largest passenger jet by improving its fuel efficiency, according to a prototype seen on Saturday.
The "A380plus" will also have an increased maximum take-off weight of 578 tonnes, meaning it can either carry 80 more passengers or fly a further 300 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737 MAX 10 will be launched at the Paris Airshow on Monday with the backing of at least two Chinese lessors - CALC and the aviation arm of China Development Bank, whose interest in the aircraft emerged earlier this week.
Trump Stumps for Infrastructure Plan
President Donald Trump says it's time for the U.S.to start investing more to improve the country's aging infrastructure. The new schedule showed Trump delivering remarks at health care before he departed an OH airport for the marina.
The entire 737 MAX family has been created to offer customers exceptional performance, flexibility and efficiency, with lower per-seat costs and an extended range that will open up new destinations in the single-aisle market.
Already having gained orders for 240 examples from 10 customers to be announced during the show, the airplane incorporates a pair of fuselage plugs to extend the Max 9's length by 66 inches.
Boeing is also evaluating demand for a new plane that would sit in between the largest 737 variant, and the 787 Dreamliner, and come into service in about 2024-25 if it goes ahead.
"We think the 737 MAX 10 is a competitor to the (MAX) 9 and that's why a lot of people are converting", Airbus sales chief John Leahy told Reuters.
No-frills carrier SpiceJet on Monday announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with aircraft maker Boeing for 40 737 MAX aeroplanes that are valued at United States dollars 4.74 billion at current list prices. They compete with Airbus planes in the A320-neo family, aiming at a similar short- to mid-range market.
