Boeing managed to deliver 43 commercial jets in July, including three aircraft for military purposes. The cumulative total for 2024 has now reached 218 aircraft delivered.
This is a much lower result than 2023, when by this point the planemaker had delivered 309 aircraft. Even so, Boeing managed to at least repeat the result of July last year.
As is well known, the US manufacturer goes through a long scrutiny process and has seen its assembly lines affected by several problems and failures.

The scenario, however, is a little better than in April and May, when the company delivered only 24 jets.
The 737 MAX continues to account for the majority of orders delivered, with 166 aircraft shipped to customers, 32% fewer than in 2023.
How is the dispute between Airbus and Boeing in deliveries going?
Despite the recovery, Boeing continues to lag far behind Airbus in terms of deliveries. The European planemaker reached 400 aircraft delivered by July, a slightly better performance than last year.
In percentage terms, Airbus delivered 83% more aircraft than Boeing from January to July, but this difference was already greater, at almost 100% in May.
Airbus expects to end 2024 with 770 commercial aircraft delivered after revising its guidance, which previously predicted 800 jets.
Boeing, in turn, is not making forecasts due to the poor results and several issues still without a clear resolution.
However, both face a common problem, the supply chain’s difficulty in delivering components on schedule.
