Canadian Airline Holds Contractual Launch Title Amid Software Delays
WestJet holds the contractual title to the Boeing 737 MAX 10 launch, but Alaska Airlines has been more vocal about its certification and entry-into-service timeline. The FAA’s delay in certification due to a software issue has created uncertainty, with United Airlines also playing a significant role due to its large order book. The launch race is now focused on operational readiness, regulatory compliance, and delivery sequencing, as reported by Simple Flying.
