Less than a year after attracting a raft of orders at the 2018 Farnborough Air Show, Boeing’s 737 Max again takes center stage at this year’s Paris salon but under decidedly less happy circumstances. Following two high-profile crashes of the new narrowbody over the span of less than five months and a worldwide grounding that now has entered its fourth month, Boeing’s mission this year might center more on an effort to reinforce its reputation for engineering excellence and repair some battered credibility more than engaging in the traditional airshow marketing hype.
