On July 9th local time, Boeing released data showing that in the past month, the company has only sold 14 new aircraft, most of which are cargo planes.
Data shows that in the first half of this year, Boeing's total orders reached 156 aircraft, a 70% decrease from the same period last year. Among them, Boeing sold a total of 14 aircraft in June, a decrease of 95% compared to the sales of 304 aircraft in June last year.
The data also shows that out of the 14 planes sold by Boeing in June this year, only 3 were 737MAX civilian passenger planes, and one of the planes sold to Alaska Airlines in the United States was used to replace the malfunctioning aircraft that had a door latch detachment accident in January this year.
In terms of delivery, due to legal and production challenges, Boeing delivered a total of 44 aircraft in June, a year-on-year decrease of 27%, but still the most delivered month of the year. Boeing has delivered 175 aircraft so far this year, far behind its European competitor Airbus, which delivered 323 aircraft in the first half of the year.
Since the beginning of this year, Boeing has been plagued by numerous accidents, leading to a serious crisis. A series of events have exposed quality and safety vulnerabilities in Boeing aircraft, leading to the departure of its chairman, CEO, and business department head, which has led to criticism from US regulatory agencies, the aviation industry, and public opinion.
