Boeing Deliveries Slip as Max Effect Fully Takes Hold
Third-quarter deliveries from Boeing totaled 63 during the third quarter, compared with 190 a year earlier.

Boeing’s third-quarter commercial aircraft deliveries fell from 190 in the third quarter of 2018 to 63 during the same three months this year due mainly to the continued grounding of the 737 Max. Last year’s third quarter saw a total of 138 Boeing 737s delivered, compared with just five—all 737NGs—from this past July through September. All told, Boeing has delivered only 302 commercial airplanes for the year through September, compared with 568 during the same three quarters in 2018.
