Boeing settles on larger 737 MAX 7
Boeing has decided to add 2 more rows, or 12 seats, to the Boeing 737 MAX 7 compared with the 737-700, based on feedback from Southwest Airlines and WestJet. “Our customers voted and they wanted an aircraft with more range and seat count than the 737-700NG, so we are officially increasing the size of that airplane by 2 seat rows,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes SVP-global sales and marketing John Wojick said. Wojick said the capacity increase did not “dramatically change” the target market for the aircraft, which is slated to be the smallest member of the MAX family. “This configuration compliments the MAX 8 better on sizing – so both these aircraft move up in gauge. Frankly, it brackets our competition quite well,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes VP, marketing Randy Tinseth said. <br/>
