In 2024, Boeing was a significant fall in the volume of supply of its commercial aircraft. Instead of the usual 528 units in 2023, the company was able to put only 348 aircraft, which is the lowest since the Covid-19 pandemic. The main factors of this fall were production difficulties, strengthening of regulatory supervision, delays in the supply chains, as well as the seven -week strike of employees, which ended only on November 5. Production lines for one of the key models of the company, 737, were able to restore their work only in December.
At the same time, Boeing received much fewer new orders. The total number of gross orders in 2024 amounted to 569 units, which is almost three times less than 1.456 orders in the previous year. Clean orders after cancellation and changes were 377 aircraft. At the same time, the company continued to supply different models: 260 aircraft 737 Max were delivered most, as well as 51 aircraft 787, 18 - 767 and 14 - 777. In December, Boeing was able to deliver 30 aircraft, including 17 737 MAX and 9 787.
During this period, the competitor of the company, European Airbus, not only ahead of Boeing, but also set a new record by setting 766 aircraft and receiving 826 clean orders. It has been the sixth consecutive year when Airbus has a leading position in this segment, leaving Boeing behind the supply volume.
