Boeing was aiming to deliver 400 to 450 737 jets in 2023 but was forced to temper that goal to 375 to 400 jets after two separate quality issues at Spirit AeroSystems
on Wednesday cut its 737 delivery forecast for this year due to quality issues at supplier Spirit AeroSystems, a temporary setback to the plane maker that is looking to recover from its own set of crises.
It also plans to meet a delivery target of at least 70 wide-body 787 Dreamliners in 2023 and is transitioning from a production rate of four to five jets per month. Earlier this month, Boeing said it had expanded the scope of its inspections of a production defect arising from misdrilled holes that affect its bestselling 737 Max 8 aircraft.
The company delivered 70 737 aircraft in the third quarter, down 20 per cent. Plane makers get a bulk of the payment when they handover jets, so delivery numbers are closely watched.
