Boeing has reportedly started the initial phases of designing a new single-aisle aircraft, according to The Wall Street Journal. This development suggests that Boeing may be preparing to eventually replace its 737 family, as industry observers believe the current 737 MAX will likely be the last generation in this line.
There are no further details at this stage about the design or timeline for the new airplane. The move comes as airlines and industry analysts have speculated about what Boeing's next step would be after the 737 MAX series, which has faced both regulatory and market challenges in recent years.
A replacement for the 737 would mark a significant shift for Boeing, given that the model has been a central part of its commercial aircraft lineup for decades.
