Boeing announced that Air Cambodia has placed its largest single-aisle commitment to date, ordering 20 737 MAX jets—10 firm and 10 options—at the Singapore Airshow. This marks the Cambodian carrier’s first purchase of Boeing fuel-efficient aircraft and follows a December 2025 agreement for an initial 10 737-8s. Air Cambodia, which currently operates six narrowbody and regional jets on routes to Vietnam, India, Thailand, China, Japan and Hong Kong, plans to deploy the 737 MAX across high-demand Asian markets, leveraging its 178-seat two-class capacity and 3,500 nautical-mile range to open new direct services and create local jobs and training programs.

Bloomberg News reported that Boeing and General Electric have surfaced a potential durability concern involving a seal on the GE9X engines powering the new 777X aircraft. Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the issue pertains to long-term performance of the seal in high-temperature sections, prompting joint engineering assessments and accelerated testing protocols. While no in-service disruptions have been reported, Boeing and GE are evaluating mitigation steps to ensure certification timelines and delivery schedules remain on track.

Air India temporarily grounded one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners after a pilot reported a possible fault in the fuel control switch following a flight from London to Bengaluru. The carrier, which operates 33 Dreamliners, notified India’s aviation regulator and is working closely with Boeing to inspect the component implicated in last year’s Gujarat crash. That incident involved nearly simultaneous activation of fuel cutoff switches, leading to dual-engine shutdowns and a fatal outcome. Air India has since completed fleet-wide switch checks under regulator directives and is now conducting follow-up inspections on the affected aircraft.

In its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial report, Boeing posted a 56.8% year-over-year revenue increase, driven by robust commercial deliveries and defense services. The company delivered a company-record number of narrowbody jets and achieved sustained growth in aftermarket services. Boeing’s commercial backlog now exceeds 6,100 aircraft, representing approximately $700 billion in undelivered orders, with narrowbody jets accounting for over 80% of the total. Management cited diversified order intake across Asia, Europe and North America as the foundation for continued production rate increases through 2026.
