From the low end, the Aneo in normal version covers a market of up to seats with a range coverage of 3,nm. Should the Aneo not be capable enough, you can go for the 97t ALR version and your useful range increases with nm, Walker said.
This covers all the routes flown by Boeing today. Should the seat capacity or range still not be enough, Walker said there is the A which, with to seats and up to 7,nm range, covers the rest of the MOM market. Sales of the MAX 9 stands at units, according to the Ascend database. Compare that with 1, orders for Aneo. In the same period, our A sold 1, aircraft.
The was supposed to kill the A, not sell equal with it. He then pointed out that MOM is different. Billing then showed there is a gap in the Boeing product line. The gap between MAX 9 seats and seats is around seats, similar to the gap that Airbus has, Figure 1. Figure 1. Source: Boeing.
When a new aircraft would be entering this market, after , the market is not the same. The market will have grown by m passengers in Asia alone, Figure 2. Figure 2. Billing said a new aircraft specifically made for this segment can fly routes economically that existing aircraft cannot.
This will create a new fragmentation of the market. Over the last few years, aircraft with new capabilities opened some new routes that existing aircraft could not do.
