Since the Boeing 737MAX8 aircraft accident, Boeing's order volume has dropped sharply and has suffered losses for three consecutive years. data shows that in 2021 the company lost about 42.9 million US dollars, and in the first quarter of 2022, it also lost about 12.4240 million US dollars.
It seems that Boeing has been on a "downhill road". In July this year, Airbus, as a "old rival" of Boeing, won the order of 292 Chinese aircraft in one fell swoop, up to 240 billion yuan. Faced with the "big order of the century" in China captured by Airbus, executives of Boeing repeatedly said "this is frustrating and disappointing", calling on the helmsman of the US Biden to "do something", hoping that the United States can "restore friendship with China" with China Good relationships, "effect dialogue".
After Boeing was "breaked" by Airbus, the US official seemed to be interested in supporting the company, hoping that Boeing could "clean up the old mountains and rivers and go to the sky".
At the world's top air show - the Farnborough Air Show, Boeing won five customers, totaling 223 aircraft orders. It is understood that Boeing's orders are mainly 737max series, which are in this 22 Among the orders for the three aircraft, 100 of Delta Air Lines are the largest. Delta Air Lines is headquartered in the United States, so it is no wonder that netizens joked that "the United States has begun to support Boeing" and "this wave is internally digested".
Even if Boeing won the total number of orders at this air show may not be as good as the single orders thrown by previous major customers, the signs revealed at this air show indicate that with the strong support of the United States, Boeing seems to have begun to "heat morale", get rid of the previous "sluggish morale" and be ready to participate again. In the competition in the international aviation market.
seems to be in a good direction, but Boeing has made negative news in the past two days. Because Boeing cancels the pensions of workers of the company and rejects the salary contract, Boeing's workers will start a strike on August 1.
looks like Boeing is preparing to do a big fight and starts to fight back against its competitors. Can Boeing make a comeback?
