Boeing delivered 83 commercial aircraft during the third quarter of 2021, with 241 in total delivered in 2021 to date. Boeing delivered 66 737 aircraft, 11 767s, six 777s, and two 747s.
"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,” said the company.
Boeing also commented that it was “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 airplanes 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 program for the long term as market demand recovers.
