AVIATION WEEK NETWORK WINS NEAL AWARD

The Aviation Week Network won a Jesse H. Neal Award on April 17 for Best News Coverage. The Neal judges recognized Safety Editor Sean Broderick and his colleagues on the editorial team for their coverage of the Boeing 737 MAX saga in Aviation Daily and Aviation Week & Space Technology and on the Check 6 podcast. The Neal Awards are the business-to-business equivalent of the Pulitzer Prizes.

Questions about whether customers will want MAXs are being replaced by whether they need them, as global demand for passenger travel has plummeted and is not expected to come back quickly. Once airlines and lessors re-assess their needs, Boeing will have some work to do, aligning suddenly reduced demand for new aircraft with monthly production rates.
