Merrill Lynch estimated the possible losses of Boeing due to 737 MAX at $ 2.4 billion

On this, as reported by RIA Novosti, said in the bulletin for investors of Bank Of America Merrill Lynch.

“We estimate (potential losses based on the cost of leasing aircraft. - RT) on the basis that 371 machines of the Boeing 737 MAX have already been delivered to customers,” the document says.

It is noted that in the first quarter, the cumulative potential monthly rents for the 737 MAX data are $ 500 million, or $ 0.88 per share — the income is calculated before taxes.

"For a whole year, we estimate that it is $ 2.4 billion, or $ 4.2 per share," the bank said.

The Boeing 737 Max 8 Ethiopian Airlines aircraft, carrying 157 people, crashed near the Ethiopian city of Debre-Zeit on the morning of March 10.

Earlier it was reported that data obtained from the flight recorders of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed in Ethiopia indicate that the tragedy was similar to the crash of a similar liner in Indonesia in October 2018.
