SCAT Airlines has placed a firm order for five additional Boeing 737-9 jets and converted five previously ordered 737-8s to the larger 737-9 variant, bringing its total commitment to ten of the wider aircraft. The Shymkent-based carrier, the first in Central Asia to operate the 737 MAX, plans to use the expanded fleet to grow its international network, including new long-haul and seventh-freedom routes across Europe and Asia. The 737-9 seats up to 220 passengers and offers a range of up to 6,110 kilometers, while burning 20% less fuel than the jets it replaces.

Boeing and the U.S. Navy have successfully completed the first test flight of the operational MQ-25A Stingray unmanned aircraft, marking a key milestone toward carrier-based deployment.

During the two-hour flight, the aircraft demonstrated full autonomous capabilities, including taxiing, takeoff, navigation, and landing, while responding to commands from a ground control station. The test validated flight controls and integration with mission systems.

The MQ-25A is designed as a carrier-based aerial refueling drone, expected to extend the operational range of the Navy’s air wing and enable manned-unmanned teaming. It will allow fighter jets such as the F/A-18 Super Hornet to focus on combat missions rather than refueling roles.

The program will now move into further testing phases before transitioning to carrier qualification trials, bringing the system closer to operational deployment.

Boeing reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $22.2 billion, up 14% year-over-year, driven by higher commercial aircraft deliveries. The company posted a narrower loss, with a GAAP loss per share of $0.11, while operational performance improved across segments.

Boeing delivered 143 commercial aircraft during the quarter and saw its total backlog rise to a record $695 billion, including more than 6,100 airplanes. Defense and services segments also recorded growth, supported by increased volumes and new contracts.

Rheinmetall and Boeing partner to offer MQ-28 Ghost Bat for German air force

31 March 2026 — Rheinmetall AG and Boeing announced a strategic partnership to offer the MQ-28 Ghost Bat unmanned aircraft for Germany’s planned deployment of collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) by 2029.

The MQ-28, developed in Australia, is an autonomous aircraft designed to operate alongside manned fighter jets, performing missions such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and combat support. It has already completed over 150 test flights and is considered a mature platform for operational deployment.

Under the agreement, Rheinmetall will act as the system integrator in Germany, responsible for adapting the platform to national requirements and integrating it into the Bundeswehr’s command and weapons systems. The partnership also aims to strengthen Germany’s defence industrial base through local production and development capabilities.

The collaboration is expected to accelerate deployment timelines and enhance Germany’s military capabilities, while supporting long-term technological development and supply security.
Boeing (NYSE: BA) announced that its 777-9 flight training simulators have received initial qualification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), allowing progress toward regulator-approved pilot training.

The qualified devices, located at the Boeing Training Campus in Gatwick, U.K., include a full-flight simulator and a flight training device developed in collaboration with CAE. The systems replicate the 777-9’s advanced aircraft systems and flight dynamics to provide immersive pilot training.

Following initial qualification, regulators will use the devices to validate and approve training courseware before airlines begin pilot training.

The 777-9, the first model in the 777X family, features large touchscreen displays, optional dual head-up displays similar to the 787, redesigned pilot seats, a dedicated control and indicator for folding wingtips, and integration of tablet-based Electronic Flight Bag capability.

The Boeing Company said it secured Air Cambodia’s largest-ever single-aisle order, with the Cambodian carrier committing to 10 Boeing 737 MAX 737-8 jets and holding options for 10 additional aircraft, announced Feb. 3, 2026 at the Singapore Airshow.

According to the release, Air Cambodia finalized the firm order in December 2025, and Boeing noted it had previously been listed as “unidentified” on Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries page. The deal will make the 737 MAX the first Boeing aircraft operated by a Cambodian airline, as Air Cambodia aims to renew and expand its fleet and add/direct services across North and Southeast Asia.

Boeing highlighted the 737-8’s typical two-class capacity of up to 178 passengers and range of up to 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km), and said the aircraft provides about a 20% reduction in fuel use and emissions versus the airplanes it replaces. Air Cambodia currently operates six single-aisle and regional jets serving routes including Vietnam, India, Thailand, China, Japan and Hong Kong.

Boeing also cited its outlook that Southeast Asian carriers will require nearly 5,000 new airplanes over the next 20 years, with single-aisle jets representing more than 80% of deliveries.
