Boeing's Plans For Revival Might Face Serious Roadblock As US Grounds 737 Max 9 Fleet: 'It's Going To Be A Problem Selling Airplanes - If It Isn't Already'
Portfolio Pulse from Pooja Rajkumari
Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) faces a new challenge as the U.S. grounds its 737 Max 9 fleet following an incident with an Alaska Airlines plane where a panel was torn off during ascent. This raises concerns about Boeing's stability and its relationship with supplier Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. (NYSE:SPR). The grounding of 171 planes could delay Boeing's plans to increase its 737 manufacturing pace and impact its ability to sell aircraft. The incident adds to Boeing's recent setbacks, including the 737 Max crashes in 2019, which severely damaged its reputation.
