FALLOUT: Boeing Backlash: India’s IndiGo To Order 300 Jets From Airbus.

It was only last week when we reported Florida-based Spirit Airlines bought 100 new Airbus SE A320neos. The low-cost air carrier was contemplating between Airbus SE A320neo and Boeing 737 Max planes, but since the 737 Max has been grounded across the world for nearly eight months due to severe design flaws, Spirit went with Airbus.

As we noted last week, the backlash has begun, Boeing’s name is a disgrace to American aerospace, nevertheless, the company cannot be trusted due to its shady practices and negligence behind the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), a flight control computer of the plane, that malfunctioned in two separate crashes, one on October 2018 and the other March 2019.

Reuters reported Tuesday morning that Indian budget airline IndiGo “is close to placing a near-record order for over 300 Airbus A320neos.”

Sources told Reuters that the deal is expected to be worth $33 billion, which is roughly $110 million per plane.

Ultimately, trust keeps passenger jets flying every bit as much as the Bernoulli effect does.
