Boeing, pressured over 737 MAX 9 blowout, says January deliveries shrank 29%
Boeing said on Tuesday it delivered 27 airplanes in January, which was down 29% from the same month last year as regulators, lawmakers and customers pressured the planemaker following a MAX 9 mid-air cabin panel blowout last month. Deliveries of the profit-making 737 MAX fell to just 25 aircraft after two solid months where Boeing delivered in excess of 40 MAXs. While deliveries tend to be slower in January, Boeing delivered 38 airplanes, including 35 MAXs, in January 2023.
