Planemakers Warned Not to Rush New Commercial Jets
Airline executives are warning planemakers Boeing and Airbus not to rush the release of next-generation commercial jets without ensuring their technology is mature enough. This comes as airlines face current backlogs in order books and instability around the supply chain, making integration of new aircraft potentially disruptive. According to executives from BOC Aviation, Ryanair, and British Airways, the industry may rely on current models like the 737 Max and Airbus Neo for the next decade or more. The comments were made at the Farnborough Airshow, as reported by Reuters.
