Boeing informed, on August 8, that it delivered 43 planes during the month of July. There are 22 aircraft less than the European rival Airbus. Despite having delivered 32 MAX, less than last month, the single-aisle aircraft remains the company's flagship.
In addition to the delivery of the 32 MAX, there was the delivery of a 737 P8-Poseidon, two 767 KC-46, a 767-300F, a 787-8, three 787-9 and 3 777-200F. The company suffers from the supply chain issues that affect all manufacturers. In addition, a railroad bridge collapsed last month, severely affecting Spirit Aerosystems, which is responsible for much of the 737 MAX's airframe.
In the period, 52 new aircraft orders were registered, 39,787 Dreamliners for Saudia. In this way, the company has already accumulated 467 net orders this year, raising its backlog to 4,928 aircraft.
The company has already delivered 309 commercial aircraft this year, representing an increase of around 28% compared to the same period last year.
