Claim 7: “including 279 737 MAX and 50 787 jets”

SINGLE SOURCE

The specific breakdown of 279 737 MAX and 50 787 jets is mentioned in the Investing.com and QCAA results, but these appear to be reporting the same data set. However, since they are distinct web results confirming the specific numbers, it is strongly supported, but I will mark as single_source if they are mirroring the same press release. Actually, Investing.com and QCAA are different organizations; therefore, it is corroborated.
