Boeing remains competitive with its biggest rival, Airbus, even as the company faces one of its worst crises ever
After two fatal crashes in five months, Boeing's bestselling 737 Max was grounded two weeks ago. Chinese airlines ordered 300 Airbus jets on Monday — a big win for Airbus and a defeat for Boeing. The 737 Max competes directly with Airbus' A320, which made up the bulk of the Chinese airlines' purchase.But Boeing and its 737 Max plane will make out OK in the end.
Cowen analyst Cai von Rumhor said the cancellation was mostly a result of Garuda's own problems: The airline was losing money and was seeking to delay those plane orders even before the most recent 737 Max crash. Boeing is continuing to build the 737 Max at its previous pace of 52 planes a month since the grounding of all the aircraft. Airbus is building 60 of the A320.
