US Planemaker Sees Slight Drop In Monthly Jet Deliveries

Boeing delivered 51 jets in August, a slight decrease from the previous month and down from 57 a year earlier, primarily due to a decline in 787 Dreamliner handovers. The company delivered only four 787s, compared to nine in the prior August. Despite this, Boeing still expects to deliver 90 to 100 787s by year-end. The US planemaker also booked 15 new orders in August, including 13 787 jets. Through August, Boeing has delivered 418 aircraft, the most since 2018. This news was reported by an unknown source.
