Boeing Books Over 200 Jet Orders in September, But Deliveries Lag Due to MAX Production Problems

Boeing had a strong September for jet orders, booking 214 net new orders. Major buyers included United, Air Canada, and Ryanair.

Airbus had a slower September, announcing just 23 net new orders.

Boeing delivered only 27 jets in September, far below Airbus's 55 deliveries, due to 737 MAX production issues.

The MAX quality problems at Boeing's supplier Spirit AeroSystems is complicating and slowing deliveries.

Air traffic has rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels, fueling airline demand to place orders with Airbus and Boeing.
