Boeing deliveries have slowed following two fatal crashes of the 737 Max, its best-selling plane ever.
Firm orders for the planes ground to a halt after the grounding.Boeing 737 MAX airplanes are stored in an area adjacent to Boeing Field, on June 27, 2019 in Seattle, Washington. After a pair of crashes, the 737 MAX has been grounded by the FAA and other aviation agencies since March, 13, 2019. The FAA has reportedly found a new potential flaw in the Boeing 737 Max software update that was designed to improve safety.
Boeing delivered 239 commercial airplanes in the first half of the year, down 37% from the first six months of 2018, amid the grounding. Deliveries are key for the company since that is generally when the manufacturer is paid for the aircraft. The Boeing 737 Max planes have been grounded since mid-March following two fatal crashes that claimed a total of 346 lives and the dearth of orders in June marked the third straight month without any new orders for the planes.
Last month, Boeing won a vote of confidence in the troubled 737 Max when British Airways' parent International Consolidated Airlines Group, said it 200 of the jets. Boeing wouldn't include the orders in its monthly tally until the order is finalized.Boeing's main rival Airbus is also scheduled to release its orders and delivery figures on Tuesday.
