Boeing jet deliveries slow in March due to 737 MAX wiring issue
Add BT as a preferred source
[SEATTLE] Boeing said on Tuesday (Apr 14) it delivered 46 jets in March, down from 51 the prior month, as the company repaired damaged wiring in about 25 of its best-selling 737 MAX planes.
Boeing did not specify on Tuesday how many deliveries were delayed by the rework. In March, Boeing chief financial officer Jay Malave said it was expected to push ten 737 deliveries into the second quarter but that it would not affect 737 deliveries for the year.
The US planemaker’s deliveries trailed European rival Airbus, which handed over 60 jets in March. Boeing has lagged Airbus in deliveries every year since 2018. Investors closely track deliveries, as planemakers receive most of the money for a jet when it is handed over to a customer. REUTERS
