Why It Matters: Shares of Boeing tumbled as much as 6.3% in Monday’s intraday trade before paring losses, following news that a Boeing 737-800NG plane carrying 132 people crashed in China’s southwestern province of Guangxi.
The 737-800 NG, or Next Generation is part of the Boeing single-aisle family, which preceded the 737 Max.
