CNN:夏季旅游旺季即将来临 波音却深陷困境
来源:未知  时间:2019-06-24

CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: As the summer travel season gets closer, airfares could be climbing along with the planes themselves. The likely reasons why are our first topic today on CNN 10. Im Carl Azuz. Welcome to the show.

U.S. economy is strong. Unemployment is near a record low point, so more people will be looking to travel this summer. Jet-fuel prices have increased and theyre expected to get higher. That can limit the routes the airlines will want to take since some wont be as profitable, and that can increase ticket prices. And then there are issues with Boeing. One of the world’s biggest airplane manufacturers has had its best selling passenger jet grounded around the world.

371 planes, all of them in Boeing 737 Max series were taken out of service last month. That happened after two catastrophic crashes, one near Indonesia in October and one in Ethiopia in March. Everyone aboard those flights was killed. Boeings been working to improve the safety of its 737 Max series planes. After they were grounded, the company had to temporarily stop delivering them to the airlines that ordered them. That hurt Boeing significantly because most of the money for a plane is paid when its actually delivered.

Those deliveries are expected to pick back up later this year when the 737 Max aircraft are approved to fly again. The impact on Boeings finances could become clearer on Wednesday when it releases its latest financial report. The impact on Boeings reputation is harder to measure, and it's difficult to say when either of these challenges will be overcome.
