The Boeing Company (Chicago, Ill., U.S.) announced major program deliveries across its commercial and defense operations for the third quarter of 2021.
“Our defense and services teams delivered across several key programs. In our commercial business, we increased 737 MAX deliveries in the quarter, and progressed in safely returning the 737 MAX to service in more international markets,” the company says, adding, “We are also continuing to complete comprehensive inspections across the 787 production system and within the supply chain, while holding detailed, transparent discussions with the FAA, suppliers and our customers. Production resources remain focused on inspections and rework and the 787 production rate remains lower than five airplanes per month. We will continue to take the time needed to ensure the highest levels of quality.”
The company plans to provide detailed third quarter financial results on Oct. 27, 2021. Major program deliveries during the third quarter were as follows:
