Boeing delivers 33 jets in September as strike weighs on output
Boeing's September deliveries were up by six jets from the same month in 2023, when the U.S. planemaker handed over fewer of its strong-selling 737 MAX planes to customers as it struggled with work needed to correct a manufacturing defect. The strike, which started on Sept 13, has halted production of the MAX, along with Boeing's 777 and 767 widebody jets, hitting a revenue-driver at a time when the company was already struggling with lower narrowbody production due to a quality crisis and weak margins in its defense business. Boeing handed over 27 MAX jets to customers last month, including five to United Airlines, and three each to customers Ryanair, and Southwest Airlines, whose CEOs have expressed concern over lower deliveries.
