Boeing has just been hit with one of the biggest aircraft order cancellations we've seen in a long time. Norwegian has announced this week that it's cancelling an order for 97 Boeing aircraft, which represents the balance of the company's orders with Boeing. This includes: Five Boeing 787-9s 92 Boeing 737 MAX 8s The GoldCare…

My guess is the new Norwegian has enough planes already and does not need anymore for a long long time. Shrink to survive
Delta to boeing:
“What type of deal can we get on these cancelled aircraft orders”?
I do not blame Norwegian what-so-ever. They are in survival mode and have absolutely zero need for new aircraft.
I have flow Norwegian 2x and I must say I was most pleased with them as a low cost airline.
Hoping for the best for them
Question to someone who may know:
If Boeing (or Airbus for that matter) fail to deliver orders on a set date, can't the buyer just cancel the order? Regarding the Max planes, I don't see how any airline can be held to those orders.
Boeing is going to tell them to get lost with those 787 compensations. Rolls Royce are the engine manufacturers and so they have to fix it. Boeing didn't touch those engines except mount them.
I’m somewhat optimistic on the A321LR order. It’s likely to get pushed back, maybe reduced, but I think it’ll still stay in some shape. It’s going to be a key aircraft for the transatlantic market over the next few years. Even when the MAX gets back into service, it can only fly BOS/NYC to the British Isles. The A321LR can at least fly many of the Western Europe destinations, and do so effectively with a much lower demand than their 787.
Can you blame this company for seeking compensation here from Boeing? I don't this company a bit!
To be honest, I am surprised the airlines is still alive in July 2020. They had problems way before COVID-19 outbreak, and I was sure the pandemic will shut them down in weeks. Its good to see that the airline is still around trying its best to pass those days, yet I wouldn't put even one cent of my money with it.
