Boeing plagued by 737 MAX crashes as deliveries and orders decline

Published July 10, 2019 6:06pm ET



Four months after federal regulators grounded Boeing’s fleet of 737 MAX aircraft, the aerospace giant continues to deal with the fallout from a pair of fatal crashes involving the planes, reporting no new orders of the embattled jets and a drop in commercial plane shipments.

The Chicago-based company saw a decline in aircraft deliveries for the first six months in 2019, with 239 commercial airplanes shipped during that time frame, according to figures released by Boeing on Tuesday. Deliveries of Boeing’s commercial aircraft fell 37% from the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2019.
