Newsdeck: Lion Air Said to Plan Airbus Order Switch After Boeing 737 Crash By Bloomberg
Lion Air was already looking at scrapping the Boeing deal after one of its own Max planes came down on Oct. 29, killing 189 people, and the African tragedy has made co-founder Rusdi Kirana more determined to cancel the contract, according to the person, who asked not to be named as the plans are private.
While Lion Air declined to comment on the future of its 200-plane Max order, Daniel Putut, a director at the company, said in Jakarta on Tuesday that it had suspended delivery of four jets due this year. A spokeswoman for Chicago-based Boeing declined to comment. Lion Air spokesman Danang Prihantoro said the company won’t comment further on delivery plans beyond this year and will provide updates on new developments when appropriate.
