New Boeing finally gets going, 15 years after debut

Boeing's 737-7 MAX, delayed for 15 years after its announcement and seven years after production began, received FAA certification following technical fixes linked to past 737-8 MAX crashes. The plane's limited appeal stems from its unique configuration, but it competes with Airbus and Embraer in the regional jet market. Allegiant Airlines committed to purchasing the model in 2022.
