Get Set For Max Return, Says Boeing
The title of this post is the same as this article in The Times.
This is the introductory paragraph.
Boeing is to fire up its 737 Max production line by May as it seeks to return the aircraft to service by the middle of the year.
Two points from the article.
- Some suppliers have been asked to start shipping parts from April.
- Boeing’s share price has risen, by 34.3%
But given the shadow over air travel caused by COVID-19, is restarting production a wise move?
I certainly don’t trust the Boeing 737 MAX!
But then if you live in London, I don’t think, you will need to fly in one, as there are a good selection of short haul trains and airlines that fly the smaller Airbuses.
I probably won’t fly short-haul again, until an airline starts flying electric aircraft.

Just as everyone stops flying and airlines are running out of money Boeing pop up and try flogging dodgy planes! Ye Gods 😠😠

I can see the virus and global warming causing a big shift away from flying short haul to trains and video conferencing.
And then along comes Airbus with an electric short-haul airliner!

I can’t catch a train to Madeira though.
