Boeing is 'actively engaged in discussions with customers about the 737 MAX 10X'

Boeing Commercial Airplanes VP marketing Randy Tinseth, via the 'Randy's Journal' blog, confirmed (06-Mar-2017) Boeing is "actively engaged in discussions with customers about the 737 MAX 10X", adding the manufacturer "already extended business offers to some of those customers". Mr Tinseth said the aircraft would provide increased capacity and the "lowest seat costs ever for a single-aisle airplane", explaining: "Simply put, the 737 MAX 10X would be the most profitable single-aisle airplane the industry has ever seen". Mr Tinseth said compared to the A321neo, the MAX 10X would offer the same capacity, lower costs (5% lower per seat and 5% lower per trip) and more range. He also noted it would be a "relatively minor development program". The MAX 10X would follow the MAX 200 and MAX 7, with entry into service in the 2020 time frame. [more - original PR]
