It’s been a rough decade for Boeing, and especially for the 737 MAX, but now Delta has secured a massive order

At the Farnborough airshow, there’s been some bright news for the struggling US plane maker.

Order for 100 737-10 aircraft with option for 30 more
Narrowbody jet provides world-class customer experience
Fuel-efficient planes help power Delta’s sustainability goals

In what was the worst kept secret in the aviation industry in recent weeks, Boeing has now confirmed a massive new order from Delta Airlines, and it’s for the 737 MAX.

The deal is worth about 13 billion dollars, and Delta has the option to buy another 30.

Airbus has been circling Delta, trying to sell them more A220s. But in the end, Boeing won out, in positive news for the beleagured company.

Until now, Delta was the only US airline without a MAX in its fleet or on order.

The MAX was grounded for 20 months following two fatal crashes, and there was a time when aviation analysts expected the plane may never fly again.

But now here we are with this massive new order.

ALSO – American Airlines is set to order more Boeing 737 MAX jets for its domestic fleet

Delta is ordering the largest model in the MAX family, the 737-10, which will begin delivery in 2025. It will be powered by the next-generation LEAP-1B engines manufactured by CFM International, a company jointly owned by GE and Safran Aircraft Engines.

The aircraft will be 20%-30% more fuel efficient than the retiring Delta planes it will replace.

“The Boeing 737-10 will be an important addition to Delta’s fleet as we shape a more sustainable future for air travel, with an elevated customer experience, improved fuel efficiency and best-in-class performance,”
Ed Bastian, Delta’s chief executive officer

“These new aircraft provide superior operating economics and network flexibility, and the agreement reflects our prudent approach to deploying our capital.”

Major stock indices rise slightly; 10-year Treasury yield hits 4.23% amid Fed Chair speculation, affecting small and mega-cap stocks.

All major stock indices are starting the week slightly higher, giving investors cautious optimism. Analysts are keeping an eye on movements in small caps and mega-cap tech stocks amid these early gains.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has climbed to 4.23%, the highest since last September. This follows Kevin Warsh emerging as the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair, sparking speculation on future monetary policy.

Rising yields could trigger a pullback in small-cap stocks, while investors may pivot toward mega-cap tech, expected to deliver strong earnings growth. Overall, the market is likely to see a neutral to slightly bearish trend next week due to overbought conditions.
