Washington D.C., DC, USA
Boeing's chairman and CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a CNBC interview on Monday that the company hasn't received any orders for its 737 Max planes since the aircraft was grounded following two deadly crashes.
Boeing shares fell more than 1.5% after the interview aired.
On Sunday, June 2, US regulators disclosed a new problem involving the grounded 737 MAX jets, saying that more than 300 of the troubled model and the prior generation 737 may contain improperly manufactured parts.
Adding to Boeing's woes was Azerbaijan Airlines, which cancelled a $1 bln contract to purchase 10 jets.
Talking to CNBC, Muilenburg also said his company hasn't changed its long-term 737 MAX production plans, and that he was the right person to lead the company through the crisis.
He added that 737 MAX would be back in operation before the end of this year and that he was confident MAX fleet would be safe when it returns.
