(Representational Image)Garuda Indonesia, the country's flag carrier, announced on Friday that it's cancelling an order for 49 Boeing 737 Max 8 passenger jets after two planes of the same model crashed in a span of five months. "Our passengers have lost confidence to fly with the Max 8," Garuda spokesperson Ikhsan Rosan told CNN. It's the latest blow to Boeing over the 737 Max, its bestselling passenger jet. Boeing representatives are planning to visit Jakarta on March 28 to discuss the request with the airline, Rosan told CNN. A Boeing spokesperson said the company doesn't comment on "customer discussions".
