Boeing Lands Major Orders But 737 MAX Output Lags

Boeing is finalizing large aircraft orders with several airlines while struggling to increase 737 MAX production. Turkish Airlines could sign a deal for 150 Boeing 737 MAX planes next week, and Biman Bangladesh Airlines is likely to finalize deals for 21 Boeing and Airbus planes within weeks. Boeing and Korean Air have already completed an order for 103 aircraft. Meanwhile, Boeing's CEO said ramping up 737 MAX output is taking longer than expected, causing shares to slide. A separate incident involving a Boeing 737 losing cabin pressure during an emergency landing in Iran was also reported.
