Boeing managed to expand aircraft deliveries in June, reaching the highest level since the blow-out of the door plug of an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 in January.
A total of 44 commercial jets were delivered last month, 34 of them the 737 MAX, its flagship model.
The Chicago-based company also resumed deliveries of the 777F freighter, interrupted for months due to a lack of engines. Five of these widebodies were shipped to customers in June.

The 787 Dreamliner had three deliveries, two of them the 787-10 variant and one the 787-9. Additionally, two military aircraft (a P-8A Poseidon and a KC-46A) were delivered.
Despite the better result, in 2024 there were only 175 deliveries, 91 fewer than in the first half of last year.
The drop of 34.2% is slightly smaller than in May, when it reached 36.4%.
Among aircraft for civil operators, only the 787-9 has had more jets delivered so far: 16 versus 14 planes in 2023.
More 777F orders
Boeing also recorded a large number of orders for the 777F freighter.
In addition to four aircraft for Turkish Airlines, already reported, the company also placed an order for two 777Fs for the lessor BCA and had five of these jets ordered by an undisclosed customer.
There were also two orders for 737 MAX by another undisclosed customer and a single aircraft of the type for Alaska Airlines, but which will be a replacement for the 737-9 N704AL, which suffered the incident in January and was returned to Boeing.
