The Boeing Company announced today major programme deliveries across its commercial and defence operations for the third quarter of 2021.
“We made important progress driving stability throughout our operations in the third quarter, as we prioritised safety and quality and worked to deliver for our customers,” the company said.
“Our defence and services teams delivered across several key programmes. In our commercial business, we increased 737 MAX deliveries in the quarter and progressed in safely returning the 737 MAX to service in more international markets.
We are also continuing to complete comprehensive inspections across the 787 production system and within the supply chain, while holding detailed, transparent discussions with the FAA, suppliers and our customers. Production resources remain focused on inspections and rework and the 787 production rate remains lower than five aeroplanes per month. We will continue to take the time needed to ensure the highest levels of quality. While these efforts continue to impact deliveries, we’re confident this is the right approach to drive stability and first-time quality across our operations and to position the programme for the long term as market demand recovers.”
The company will provide detailed third quarter financial results on Oct. 27. Major programme deliveries during the third quarter were as follows:
