Publishing timestamp: 2024-04-09 13:21:00
Summary
Boeing airplane deliveries dropped in the first quarter to the lowest number since mid-2021, facing increased scrutiny after a door plug blew out from one of its 737 Max 9 planes in January. Boeing handed over 83 planes in the first three months of the year, most of them 737s, compared to 157 in the prior quarter. Airbus delivered 142 planes in the same period. Boeing customers are still ordering new jets, with orders for 111 new planes in March. Boeing is slowing down production to improve quality control after the incident and CEO Dave Calhoun announced he will step down by year's end.
