https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/30/b...ers/index.html Looks like Boeing think the 97 Aircraft were cancelled due to financial problems at NAS. The deposits may or may not be returned, but could be off-set against future expenditure.
The compensation for the 787 is another issue. Its all rather grey area, but infact 3 separate legal issues as far s the Courts will be concerned.
NAS may be successful in the 787 engine issue and associated costs, unlikely in the 97 Airframes and little chance of returning the 18 737-800 just because they don't need them or cant afford them. Lease values have fallen 22% and CMR values down about 6M per airframe, Not attractive to have them sitting around either with NAS or with Boeing
