Boeing delivers 43 commercial jets in July
Boeing said on Tuesday it delivered 43 commercial jets in July, unchanged from the same month a year earlier when it faced supply chain hurdles, as the U.S. planemaker works to grow aicraft production under new CEO Kelly Ortberg.
The company has pledged to grow output by the end of the year, after wrestling with supply chain snags and operating a slower assembly line since a Jan. 5 in-flight blowout of a door plug on a 737 MAX 9 jet that heightened regulatory scrutiny.
The company handed over 31 MAX jets to customers last month, including a handful to Chinese carriers.

Boeing also reported 72 gross orders in July, up from 52 during the same month a year earlier, including orders for 57 737 MAX planes that were partly announced during the Farnborough Air Show.
After adjustments to reflect the backlog, Boeing reported adjusted net orders for the month of 72.
That brought Boeing’s gross order total so far this year through July 31 to 228. After removing cancellations and conversions, Boeing
posted a net total of 186 orders since the start of 2024.
Year to date through July 31, Boeing delivered 218 airplanes, including 166 MAX jets.
