Irish budget airline Ryanair said Thursday it is ordering 75 more Boeing 737 Max jets, a boost for Boeing just before its most important plane returns to flying after two deadly crashes.

The order would be worth more than $9 billion at list prices, although airlines routinely receive deep discounts. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Boeing shares soared nearly 7% in afternoon trading.

The announcement was a huge lift for Chicago-based Boeing, which has suffered cancelled orders for the plane since it was grounded nearly 21 months ago and while demand for new jets plummeted because of the coronavirus pandemic.

So far this year, customers have cancelled orders for 448 Max jets and Boeing has raised doubt about another 782 orders because of the airlines’ pandemic-weakened financial health. The company has reported only five Max orders in 2020.

Boeing CEO David Calhoun said he was confident that

Will Cassie ever learn?

The Flight Attendant Season 1 Episode 4 and The Flight Attendant Season 1 Episode 5 put her in another string of impossible scenarios, but she needs to master the art of not spilling her guts to the FBI.

Annie has put her career on the line countless times for her friend, so for Cassie to follow that up by confirming they’ve been breaking the law was a terrible thing to do.

Guys, Where Are We? - The Flight Attendant

Cassie would probably be dead or behind bars already if not for Annie, so it’s unfortunate that Annie is the one getting the short end of the straw here.

Annie is doing some sketchy things, but she’s the most genuine character on the show. All she wanted was to spend time with her boyfriend in the aftermath of earmarking someone for death, and Cassie’s shenanigans may well have lost Max

Emirates Airline’s continued strength during the 2010-2019 period meant the judges recognised it as the region’s stand-out performer.

ANALYSIS: Major Changes In Japanese, South Korean Airline Strategies

The Japanese and South Korean airline sectors are likely to see long-term repercussions for the competitive dynamics in both the low-cost and full-service markets as a result of the pandemic.

Japan and Korea have domestic routes that rank among the world’s busiest, both pre- and post-pandemic. They did not shut down their domestic networks to the same extent as many other countries. But while domestic traffic is helpful, airlines really need international services to return to their pre-COVID-19 traffic and financial levels.

The two countries have major airports near Seoul and Tokyo that their respective airlines and airline partners use as hubs to connect Asia to North America, Europe and other regions. The lack of international traffic is hurting that strategy, with overseas flights being restored only very gradually.

Like other governments in Asia, Japan and Korea will want to push for travel bubble agreements with countries in the region
