Boeing officials have signaled that a new "middle of the market" (MoM) single-aisle aircraft is less a matter of if, than when it would be launched. Officials at the manufacturer estimate that between 4,000 and 5,000 aircraft in this size range - between the 737 and 787 airline - could be sold to replace 757 and 767 aircraft.
