What's the current position on the MAX-10 certification?
United have stated they have removed the Type from their future fleet plans.
The Certification for the Type is still mired with Boeing seeking (pleading) in yet again asking for extending exemptions, and submitting further cockpit redesigns, confirming aircraft stability, and of course for the coveted 737 Cockpit Pilot type rating commonality. There seems no end date.
(That expired at the end of last year).
As for Ryanair changing tack in supplier --- They are extremely (as we all know)
influential.
I'll leave it there.
As for the other latest news that Ryanair fares will rise by up to 10% this summer as MoL blames the Boeing delivery delays, I feel that will not impact their Sales too much.
