If you have mentioned the word Boeing in conversation over the last 12 months, the most likely topic of conversation will be about the 737 MAX.

Boeing has had a tough time of it after two fatal crashes saw the next-generation of the worlds best-selling passenger aeroplane grounded globally. However, recently the U.S. manufacturer had some positive news with the first test flights of the 777X.

The Seattle-based aircraft manufacturer is working hard to ensure that not only does the 737 MAX and the ill-fated Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) return to safe operational service, but to also ensure that airlines are not put off future Boeing orders.
