Boeing delivered only 24 commercial airplanes in April
Boeing said on Tuesday it delivered 24 commercial airplanes in April, down by two from the 26 planes delivered the same month in 2023, as the U.S. planemaker works to improve production of its 737 MAX.
Boeing reported Tuesday that it delivered 24 commercial aircraft in April, two fewer than the 26 delivered the same month in 2023, as the U.S. manufacturer works to improve production of its 737 MAX.
Boeing also reported 33 cancellations for the month, due largely to Canadian budget carrier Lynx Air’s ceasing operations, which accounted for 29 of the planes.
Boeing has said it is producing fewer MAX single-aisle jets to improve manufacturing quality after the Jan. 5 mid-air blowout of a door plug on a 737 MAX 9 jet brought the U.S. planemaker under increased scrutiny from regulators.

The planemaker said it delivered 16 MAX jets, down one from the same month in 2023, when deliveries were impacted by a supplier’s manufacturing defect.
Boeing also said it had taken seven gross new orders in April. That brings Boeing’s gross order total so far this year to 138.
After removing cancellations and conversions, Boeing posted a net total of 100 orders since the start of 2024.
Boeing’s backlog declined from 5,668 to 5,646 as of April 30.
