Boeing said on Tuesday it handed over 28 airplanes to buyers in July as revived domestic travel fuels 737 MAX deliveries, but the U.S. planemaker’s 787 remained in inventory for a fourth month due to defects, Reuters reported.

Of the aircraft Boeing delivered to airlines and other buyers in July, 22 were 737 MAX single-aisle jets, one was a P-8 maritime patrol aircraft for the U.S. Navy, and the remaining five were widebodies. The widebodies included one KC-46 tanker to the U.S. Air Force and four freighters.

Boeing delivered 184 passenger aircraft in the first 7 months of the year, according to the latest data provided by the manufacturer.

Boeing said it had received orders in July for 31 aircraft, including 19 of its 737 MAX and 12 of its larger widebody aircraft.

However, airlines in July cancelled orders for 17 jets, including 15 MAXs and two 787s. For the first half of the year, Boeing also removed 11 of its 787s from its backlog after applying stricter accounting standards to previously booked orders.

Taking into account canceled orders, Boeing’s July order tally was 14, the sixth consecutive month of positive net orders for the manufacturer.

Overall, Boeing’s total backlog decreased by 14 jets to 4,141 aircraft in July, from 4,155 at the end of June, it said.
