Description
Boeing has secured a pair of multi-billion-dollar orders in two days, which aviation experts said is a positive sign for the aerospace giant.
Vietnam Air announced Monday an order of 50 737-8 MAX jets with Boeing. It was announced during a signing ceremony with President Biden in Hanoi and is part of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the U.S. and Vietnam. One day later, aircraft leasing company SMBC Aviation Capital said it ordered 25 Boeing 737 MAX jets.
Aviation Consultant Scott Hamilton said these orders are an economic boost for the region.
"It's good for the supply chain that feeds into Renton, so this is really a positive piece of information that we have back-to-back," Hamilton said. "People are getting more confident that Boeing is on the path to recovery."
