Boeing posts busiest month since 2023 with 45 aircraft orders

Boeing posts record deliveries in January: The plane manufacturer delivered some 45 aircraft in January — including 40 737 MAX which saw a 60% y-o-y increase after it suffered from a panel blowout mid-flight that shed light on the firm’s shortcomings, Reuters reports. Seven 737 MAX jets were delivered to United Airlines, five to Southwest Airlines, and seven to unidentified Chinese carriers as well as four 787s — including the first 787 — to TAAG Angola, and one 777 freighter to Ethiopian Airlines. This marks the busiest month for Boeing since 2023, although total orders placed by customers dropped to 36 after reaching 142 last December.
