Max Delivery Halt Tempers Boeing’s April Total
Along with delivering 17 airplanes during April, Boeing saw its third straight month of positive net order totals.

Boeing CEO David Calhoun’s recent projection for “very light” delivery volumes for the 737 Max proved accurate during the month of April, as the company delivered just four of the narrowbodies before halting shipments due to an electrical grounding problem tied to the airplane’s flight deck and power control units. According to the company’s most recent adjustment to its order and delivery database, Boeing shipped a total of 17 airplanes during April out of a total of 94 machines for the year.
