Why Boeing 737 MAX Orders Are Skyrocketing Right Now

Throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, the narrative surrounding the narrowbody market was that Airbus had Boeing beat. While the Boeing 737-800 was an excellent aircraft and the 737-700 was competitive against the Airbus A319-100, the Airbus A321-200 was in a league of its own, easily outselling the 737-900ER. This dynamic only worsened with the A320neo family against the 737 MAX family, and the 20-month worldwide grounding of the 737 MAX didn’t help matters. Not only that, but Airbus has the A220 family as well.
