Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • WestJet’s order is for 67 firm jets through 2034 (60 737‑10s, 7 787‑9s) with options for 25 and 4 more, and it doubles the carrier’s 787‑9 fleet — a material capacity shift for Canada’s long‑haul market.

  • The delivery timetable and MAX‑10 availability remain exposed to Boeing production and regulatory constraints; the FAA is still reviewing MAX output caps and MAX 7/10 certifications, which could affect handover timing.

  • Boeing’s recent monthly delivery performance and orderbook dynamics matter to timing and aftermarket support as airlines absorb new MAX and Dreamliner capacity; Boeing’s July deliveries showed uneven monthly output versus Airbus.
