United Airlines Urges Boeing to Halt 737 MAX 10 Production

United Airlines has instructed Boeing to halt production of its 737 MAX 10 aircraft due to certification concerns and production delays, shifting focus to the MAX 9 instead. This decision poses challenges for United's fleet renewal plan, prompting considerations such as retrofitting the 757-200, installing lie-flat seating on future MAX 9 deliveries, and negotiating with Airbus for A321neo jets. While United has not canceled its MAX 10 order, it is exploring alternative options as it navigates the impact of Boeing's production issues on its ambitious growth plans.
