All Boeing operator Copa Airlines expects to be taking 13 737 Max jets this year.
The carrier is advised to expect only six 737 Max jets from Boeing in 2026.
The revised figures were disclosed by COPA CEO Pedro Heilbron in the company's February 13th revenue call. Heilbron claims that Copa is “fully well” with new delivery schedules, based on the opportunities seen in new routes and increased frequency.
Notably, Copa holds four up to 8 seconds and 15 Max 10 unreleased orders. This suggests that Boeing expects it to offer its customers up to 10S, which are not yet certified later this year.
The Max 7 and Max 10 certifications have been delayed long as the Federal Aviation Administration is scrutinizing the program after the 2018 and 2019 biggest crashes killed 364 people.
Last month, Boeing revealed it was seeking another regulatory exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration. This time, it is related to the food stall management yawdumper system.
