Boeing plane deliveries drop by half in May
Boeing said on Tuesday it delivered 24 commercial planes in May, about half of the 50 jets it handed over to customers during the same month a year earlier, as it continued operating a slower assembly line to complete outstanding work.
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 19 MAX jets in May, three more than in April, but down 45% from the 35 jets it handed over to customers during the same month in 2023.
Boeing also said it had taken four gross new orders in May, all 787-10 Dreamliners for Eva Air. That brings Boeing’s gross order total so far this year to 142.
