Commercial Airliner Programs to Watch

All eyes are on how quickly the Boeing 737 MAX will return to service and under what conditions. But there are many other commercial programs that deserve attention. Boeing is facing more trouble with the already delayed 777X. Airbus is preparing the launch of the proposed A321XLR, an even longer-range version of the A321neo. Progress on sales and cost cuts in the A220 program are key, and Embraer is waiting for additional E2 sales. New programs such as the C919 and MC-21 continue their flight tests but have hit more challenges of late.
