Chicago-based Boeing (BA Quick QuoteBA - Free Report) released its newest jetliner, the Boeing 737 MAX 9. The MAX 9 jet was rolled out Tuesday at Boeing’s Renton final assembly plant. If the MAX 9 is launched, it will fully enter service in 2020.

With over 3,600 orders already placed in the MAX family, Boeing says that the MAX 9, compared to its younger sibling, the MAX 8, has been designed for better fuel efficiency and decreased costs. The new jet can carry 220 passengers and fly 3,515 miles nonstop, making it available for a flight from New York to London.
