The brief
Boeing’s CEO has indicated that the company must prioritize the certification of the MAX 10 and 777-9 models before shifting engineering resources toward new designs. Current manufacturing commitments and a significant backlog of orders are currently hindering the development of an all-new jet.
Coverage from CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Fox Business, and Simple Flying highlights the company's focus on restoring its financial health. Reports indicate that Boeing management does not expect to have the necessary funding to launch a new plane program until 2030.
