Boeing, the American aircraft manufacturer, has not had it easy in recent months. Not that this is a coincidence – the detected defects and technical problems of the aircraft did not come about by chance. However, new aircraft are still being produced, which are to power the fleets of many airlines around the world. An example? Even Ryanairwhich is eagerly awaiting the new Boeing 737 MAX. These are wildly popular narrow-body aircraft that are used by many carriers around the world.
Unfortunately, there have also been problems with deliveries. According to the latest reports, as a result of the discovery of further defects and the inability to independently certify parts (this one was taken away from the company), the pace of introducing new machines to the market is significantly delayed. It’s gotten to the point where we’re already seeing some pretty serious delays.
According to rynek-lotniczy.pl, Boeing failed to obtain certification for at least one of its largest variants of the aircraft. 737 MAX. The decision to issue a certificate is regularly delayed. The reason is the successive failures that appear, which means that keeping an eye on the company makes perfect sense.
It is not known exactly when Boeing will be able to fulfill its agreements with carriers and leasing companies. At the moment, it is certain that at least some deliveries announced for 2025 will be postponed to 2026. Delays, depending on the aircraft variants, will vary from 3 to even 12 months.
This news is not good not only for Boeing’s contractors, but also for the passengers themselves. Any excuse is good to raise ticket prices – and the lack of new aircraft is even more so. If a carrier was waiting for new aircraft, it will try to compensate for the delays in their delivery in another way. For example, by raising ticket prices.
Taking into account Boeing’s problems or problems with engines used in Airbuses (which Wizzair has), it can be said that finding a cheap plane ticket will be increasingly difficult. And the times of cheap flights are slowly coming to an end.
