Southwest just placed the biggest Boeing 737 Max order since it was grounded
CNN
Southwest agreed to buy 100 737 Max jets from Boeing, the largest order for the troubled jet since its grounding in 2019 following two fatal crashes.
The company also agreed to options for an additional 155 of the planes. The 100 firm orders tops the previous order for 75 of the planes placed by Irish discount carrier Ryanair (RYAAY) in December. United Airlines (UAL) also placed an order for 25 of the jets earlier this month. It's not only the largest order for the jet since the grounding — it's also among the largest orders for the plane since Southwest placed the first-ever order for the jet in December 2011.More Related News
