PARIS: Boeing Co is set to receive orders and commitments worth roughly US$30bil for the stretched Max 10 upgrade of the 737 workhorse, as its first new jet in almost four years counters Airbus SE’s headstart at the largest end of the single-aisle aircraft market.

The biggest 737 variant is set to get more than 240 orders from at least 10 different airlines, Boeing said at the launch announcement yesterday.
