WS multibillion-dollar Max 10 order may face delays as aircraft awaits certification
https://edmontonjournal.com/business...b-8cd9f0b49a8e
WestJet’s multibillion-dollar aircraft order from Boeing could face lengthy delays, after a high-profile safety incident on a Boeing plane snarled the airplane’s certification process, an expert says.
The Calgary-based airline is awaiting more than 65 Boeing 737 Max 10 aircraft, set to arrive by 2028. But the plane has yet to receive final certification — following an early January incident in which the
door plug blew off a Boeing 737 Max 9 on an Alaska Airlines flight
— leading one CEO to plan for a future without the plane.
WestJet
announced in 2022 it had increased its order of Max 10s to 65 aircraft
, giving the deal a $7.76-billion final valuation.
