Boeing’s 737 Max led airliner orders this week at England’s 2022 Farnborough International Airshow, representing a comeback of the beleaguered single-aisle jet.

Three years after Max airplanes were grounded in the wake of two deadly accidents, multiple Max variants garnered the lion’s share of Boeing’s 176 orders, eclipsing total orders for airliners manufactured by rival Airbus.
