FARNBOROUGH — Monarch Airlines, a current A320 operator, has selected the Boeing 737 MAX over the competing Airbus A320neo for its future fleet re-equipment plan. The deal marks a significant turnover for Boeing in Europe where Airbus has so far dominated with the A320 and follow-on re-engined A320neo. The Monarch deal covers 30 737-8 and includes additional convertible options with first deliveries starting in 2018. The 737 was selected “after a very fair process,” says Monarch executive chairman Iain Rawlinson.
FARNBOROUGH — Boeing is to offer a higher capacity variant of the 737-8, a member of the new MAX family, to further improve seat-mile operating economics and increase competitiveness against the Airbus A320neo.
FARNBOROUGH — CFM International kicked off this year’s Farnborough Air Show by announcing the selection of its Leap-1A engine by American Airlines to power 100 Airbus A320neo aircraft - pointing to another record year of orders for the General Elecric-Snecma joint venture.
