JAKARTA - Although Indonesia's low cost carrier Lion Air and its full service rival, Garuda Indonesia have said they want out of their combined $30 billion order for Boeing's stricken 737 Max jetliner, analysts believe they will come around eventually.
Last month regulators grounded the Max 8 and the Max 9 versions in the aftermath of two crashes of the aircraft under similar circumstances within five months.
