Boeing records another zero-order month

Category: News
Boeing [NYSE: BA] today conducted a productive and successful first flight of the second 777X airplane. Designated WH002, this airplane is the second of four in a dedicated flight test fleet and will test handling characteristics and other aspects of airplane performance. Shown here: WH002, the second 777X airplane, takes off from Everett, Wash., on April 30, 2020.

Boeing didn’t book a single new jet order in September.

A total of 11 deliveries were logged last month — less than half the number from the same period last year — and seven of them were the 787 jet built in South Carolina and Washington state. Though below pre-pandemic levels, that’s the highest 787 delivery total since March.

The pandemic continues to have a “significant impact” on the industry, Boeing finance chief Greg Smith said in a statement about the delivery figures. Boeing is “taking actions to resize, reshape and transform (its) business to preserve liquidity,” Smith continued.
