Boeing with upgradable February 2023

Ermal Muji March 15, 2023 16:30

In February of this year, the US manufacturer Boeing was unable to build on past times. Boeing only received two orders for the 737 Max in February, and this monthly result has room for improvement. Boeing is considered a global player in the niche of aircraft manufacturing, and the manufacturer's aircraft are among the most popular machines internationally. In February, however, the manufacturer was unable to maintain the level of previous months, and only 2 orders were received last month. This monthly result has room for improvement, and the manufacturer is well on its way to maximizing the number of orders. Large orders from Arab airlines are not expected to start until March at the earliest, and this will make the sobering result of February disappear into oblivion.

The low-cost airline Wizz Air is currently looking for First Officers who already have several years of professional experience and can imagine flying as a captain for the low-cost airline.
