Boeing is facing its first cancellation of an order for its 737 Max 8 jets since the new model aircraft were grounded following fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. DeliveriesBoeing earlier this month said it was pausing deliveries of 737 Max model planes to customers after the U.S. joined many other countries in grounding all Boeing 737 Max jets. Boeing had planned to boost 737 production this year, part of its plan to deliver more than 5,000 737 Max models that customers had ordered. "We don't want to use Max jets ... but maybe will consider switching it with another Boeing model of plane," Rosan said. He said Indonesian passengers are afraid to take flights using any Max model, whether it's the 8, 9 or 10 series.
