WASHINGTON: Boeing customers canceled a staggering number of 737 Max orders last month. Boeing on Tuesday posted 150 cancellations of its beleaguered 737 Max jets in March, the most in decades, the company said.
Brazilian airline Gol canceled 34 of the narrow-body planes and leasing firm Avolon scrapped orders for 75 of them, a move it announced earlier this month.
Net cancellations in the month totaled 119 thanks to 31 orders for wide-body passenger planes and military aircraft.
That brought net orders Boeing removed from its order list in first three months of the year to 307 planes, a sharp turnaround for a company that just over a year ago was aiming to increase output of its planes to meet strong demand.
