Boeing announced on Wednesday an order from the Polish airline Enter Air for a maximum of four 737-8 aircraft, with the general manager of the airline considering that he is convinced that it will be the best aircraft in the world for many years to come. . ‘For those who are envious of what this new jet is all about, it’s not new, and it has another name you might be more familiar with: the beleaguered 737 Max, who was involved in two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 and has had many problems since. De Fad notes that so far the name 737-8 has only been used in the company itself.
USA Today– noting that the decision to use the 737-8 label publicly may be a PR move to clear the image of the aircraft – points out the name “737 Max” was also used several times in the same Boeing statement, and that no official name change has been announced.

CNN Business notes that this is the first order for 737 Max jets since November, when Boeing booked 30 orders for the aircraft at the Dubai Airshow, 10 of which went to the SunExpress fleet of Turkey.
