According the Boeing states 2019 they still have 93 NG to deliver .
Re Garuda type change story , well the immediate aircraft to order next after the Max is the 787 . quite a big jump., and I guess the 787 order book is filled up for the next 5 years as well .Plus Garuda and Lion use their 73s mostly domestically , most or relatively short routes, not exactly made for a long range 787. So I do really not buy the "swap" story.
