Boeing October Jet Deliveries Fall 14% Amid Production Constraints
Boeing reported a decline in aircraft deliveries for October, shipping 49 jets compared to 57 in the previous month and 53 during the same period last year. The drop was driven largely by lower 737 MAX output, as the company continues to face production constraints and supplier disputes affecting wing manufacturing for various models. Despite the delivery slump, Boeing saw its strongest October for net orders since 1997, securing 165 new bookings with zero cancellations. This surge was primarily fueled by a massive order from lessor Avolon for 140 737 MAX jets. While year-to-date deliveries are up 6% compared to last year, Boeing remains behind its European competitor Airbus in total volume.
