The second crash of a Max 8, five months after the first one, led to a 21-month grounding of the global fleet.

As a \u201ccut\u201d of the Max 8, the design is not optimized for the best economic performance. Of the 282 Max 7s Boeing has in its backlog, Southwest Airlines holds orders for 262 of the type, according to Boeing\u2019s recent 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Southwest needs the Max 7 for operations at some of its more difficult airports, such as Chicago Midway, Burbank, California, and Reno, Nevada, and for longer operations at \u201chot and high\u201d airports.<\/p>\n<p>But the Max 7\u2019s operating costs are similar to those of the larger Max 8, which has much greater revenue potential. This limits demand for the Max 7 from other operators, though <strong>LNA<\/strong> believes Boeing will expand the Max 7 order book beyond Southwest and the US leisure carrier Allegiant Air.<\/p>\n<p>Limited demand does not describe the Max 10, a 210-passenger airplane that competes with the popular Airbus A321neo.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscription Required By Scott Hamilton Aug. 5, 2026, \u00a9 Leeham News: Boeing\u2019s 737 Max 7 finally obtained certification on Aug. 3.
