American Airlines' Massive Aircraft Order: 345 New Jets from Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer

American Airlines has placed an order for 260 new planes, including a significant number of Boeing 737 Max jets, to bolster its domestic and short-haul international network and expand first-class seating. The order includes 85 Airbus A321neo, 85 Boeing 737 Max 10, and 90 Embraer E175 aircraft, with options for an additional 193 planes. This comes as the FAA increases oversight of Boeing following an incident involving a Max 9 jet. Despite FAA scrutiny, Boeing expressed appreciation for American Airlines' trust and confidence in the 737 Max family.
