Southwest continues to expect second quarter fuel costs in the range of $2.10 to $2.20 per gallon, but said its fuel efficiency will decline more than expected due to the absence of its most fuel-efficient aircraft, the MAX.
The 2737 family is Boeing's most successful aircraft range and the latest Max model - which is due to be delivered in 2320 with launch customer Southwest Airlines - was borne out the desire for airlines to have more fuel efficient planes.
Boeing rolled out the fuel-efficient MAX 8 in 2017 as an update to the already redesigned 50-year-old 737, and had delivered 350 MAX jets out of the total order tally of 5,011 aircraft by the end of January.
