Boeing delivers 56 new planes in Nov, tries to fix manufacturing issues

Boeing said Tuesday that it delivered 56 commercial planes in November, an increase as the company tries to fix manufacturing problems that have disrupted production of its best-selling aircraft. Most of the planes were 737 Max jets to airlines and lessors, including eight to United Airlines, seven to Southwest Airlines and five to Ireland's Ryanair. With one month left, Boeing is close to achieving its goal of delivering at least 375 737s this year it has 351 so far. November deliveries nearly matched the total for September and October, when manufacturing issues hindered shipments. Deliveries are an important source of cash for Boeing, since buyers typically pay a large portion of the purchase price at delivery. Boeing reported orders for 104 after cancellations. The company previously announced an Emirates order for 90 Boeing 777s at the Dubai Air Show.

That conflict, as well as Russia's war on Ukraine, likely will influence the five-day show at Al Maktoum Airport at Dubai World Central. It is the city-state's second airfield after Dubai International Airport, which is the world's busiest for international travel and home base for the long-haul carrier Emirates. Emirates made the announcement witnessed by the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, at a news conference Monday afternoon. Immediately after, its sister carrier, the low-cost airline FlyDubai, said it would buy 30 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, the first wide-body aircraft in its fleet.
