Boeing's July Orders and Deliveries Show Mixed Progress
Despite topping Airbus in July orders, Boeing's delivery numbers and safety concerns highlight ongoing challenges.
- Boeing recorded 72 net orders in July, surpassing Airbus's 59, largely due to deals at the Farnborough Airshow.
- The company delivered 43 planes in July, matching last year's figure but still trailing Airbus's 77 deliveries.
- Safety concerns persist after a January incident involving a 737 MAX, leading to FAA-imposed production limits.
- Boeing's year-to-date deliveries are down 29% compared to last year, with only 218 planes delivered so far.
- Financial recovery remains uncertain as Boeing continues to address quality issues and retrain workers.
