10:09 AM EDT, 06/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with BOC Aviation's response in the third paragraph.)

A Boeing ( BA ) 737 Max 8 aircraft may be leased by Garuda Indonesia, which is in talks on the possible deal with BOC Aviation, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing a BOC Aviation spokesperson.

Garuda Indonesia has not used Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft since the fatal 2018 PT Lion Mentari Airlines crash undermined confidence in the plane's reliability, Bloomberg reported.

"While we do not comment on individual airline customers or individual aircraft, our commercial discussions with Garuda are a matter of public record", BOC Aviation's head of investor relations & corporate communications Timothy Ross told MT Newswires in an email.

Boeing ( BA ) and Garuda did not respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
