Although the company received 31 orders for wide-body jets in July, Boeing received no 737 Max orders for the fourth straight month.
Boeing did not receive any orders of the 737 Max jet for a fourth straight month. The global grounding of the aircraft has entered its sixth month, following two fatal crashes evidently caused by a design flaw. Boeing has said it plans to submit a proposed fix to the FAA in September, and expects it to be approved by November. The airline did, however, record 31 orders of widebody jets for the month, an increase over the same month in 2018. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
