Boeing Co. faces first 737 MAX order cancellation from PT Garuda Indonesia.

Garuda claims that customers have lost faith in safety of MAX after two fetal crashes, while Boeing maintains the planes are safe but is about to change fight-control system investigators which involved in two accidents.

Garuda has already deferred delivery of remaining 49 orders and spokesman said Boeing was planning to replace the MAX order with other larger planes.

In the meanwhile, airlines using MAX face rising pressure and are rushing to adjust their schedules to find alternative aircrafts.

Stopping the operating of MAX for several weeks may bring growing financial impact for airlines: On the one hand, cancelling orders means forgoing deposits, losing pre-paid payments; On the other hand, airlines have to continue paying for rents and can hardly switch the manufactures.
