The decline was driven by production problems, increased regulatory scrutiny, supply chain delays and a seven-week labor strike.
Boeing delivered 348 commercial aircraft in 2024, its lowest level since the COVID-19 pandemic. This is significantly less than the 528 aircraft that the company delivered in 2023. This was reported by Reuters on Wednesday, January 15.
The decline was driven by production issues, increased regulatory scrutiny, supply chain delays and a seven-week labor strike that ended Nov. 5. Production lines for the 737 only resumed production in December.
Boeing received 569 gross orders in 2024, down nearly threefold from 1,456 in 2023. Net orders after cancellations and changes totaled 377 units.
During the year, the company delivered, including 260 737 MAX aircraft, 51 787 models, 18 767 and 14 777 aircraft in December, 30 aircraft were delivered, including 17 737 MAX and 9 787.
European rival Airbus overtook Boeing in 2024 with 766 aircraft delivered and 826 net orders booked. This is the sixth consecutive year that Airbus has surpassed Boeing in terms of deliveries.
We remind you that one of the world’s largest manufacturers of aviation, space and military equipment, the American concern Boeing, has announced plans to lay off up to 10% of its employees.
It was previously reported that Boeing has resumed production of its best-selling 737 MAX airliner.
