Boeing has struggled to keep up with its European rival Airbus after a pair of 737 Max aircraft crashed in a short span of time, killing 346 passengers and crew members.Advertisement
Financial terms of the order were not disclosed. The plane carries a list price of $134.9 million, according to Boeing’s website, but airlines routinely receive deep discounts. Last week Delta reported that it earned $735 million in the second quarter as packed planes and higher fares boosted revenue close to pre-pandemic levels. But rising fuel prices and the cost of canceling more than 4,000 flights in May and June were a drag.
