Boeing delivered fewer airplanes in July than its European rival Airbus, as the US planemaker continued to work through logistics and supply chain disruptions affecting its bestselling 737 narrowbody jet.
Boeing said Tuesday it delivered 43 aircraft in July, down from the 60 planes it delivered in June and more than 20 fewer planes than the 65 jets delivered by Airbus last month.
Narrowbody 737 MAX deliveries fell from 48 in June to 32 in July, marking the lowest level since April, when the company discovered that brackets had been incorrectly installed on the vertical tail of around 75 per cent of the 737s in its inventory.
