Boeing is considering designing a new single-aisle aircraft to potentially replace the 737 MAX, a project that could take several years and involve billions of dollars. The proposed jet would likely be larger than the MAX, carrying 200–250 passengers, positioning it to compete directly with Airbus’s A321neo. Airbus’s A320neo and A321neo family has secured over 11,000 orders, surpassing the 737 MAX’s roughly 8,600 orders.
The company continues to focus on delivering its existing backlog of nearly 6,000 commercial airplanes and certifying new models, including the 737-7, 737-10, and 777-9. Boeing has emphasized evaluating market opportunities, advancing key technologies, and improving financial performance to be ready for future product launches.
Engine discussions for the potential new jet include Rolls-Royce, GE Aerospace, Safran, and RTX, highlighting the complexity and scale of the program.
