Max Restart Cushions Boeing’s 2020 Delivery Shock
Boeing delivered 157 commercial jets last year, less than half of its 2019 total.

The resumption of 737 Max deliveries in December gave Boeing a small measure of redemption in an otherwise miserable year that saw it deliver a total of 157 commercial airplanes, compared with 380 in 2019 and 806 in 2018. In reporting its 2020 delivery totals Tuesday, Boeing acknowledged that quality issues involving the 787 limited deliveries of the widebody to just four in the fourth quarter and 53 for the year, compared with 158 in 2019.
