Boeing and Airbus:
The financial fall-out — October 2020

Some 20 months after its grounding, the FAA recertified the 737 MAX in mid-November — finally, some good news. But both Boeing and Airbus still have to confront the financial fall-out from the Covid 19 crisis.

EASA and other regulatory authorities are likely to follow suit, which provides Boeing with the opportunity of shifting the inventory of parked MAXes, 450 in total. But this is not going to be a quick process — the aircraft have to re-activated, the new MCAS software installed and training programmes completed.
