CHICAGO, July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boeing
Company [NYSE: BA] announced today major program deliveries across
its commercial and defense operations for the second quarter of
2021.
"We continue the work to deliver on our commitments to our
commercial, defense, space and services customers, while
positioning our business for a stable and strong recovery from the
pandemic. In the second quarter, we made progress in safely
returning the 737 MAX to service in more international markets and
increasing the pace of 737 deliveries," the company said.
As Boeing has previously shared, the company has been engaged in
detailed discussions with the FAA on verification methodology for
787 fuselages, and conducting associated inspections and rework. In
connection with these efforts, the company has identified
additional rework that will be required on undelivered 787s. Based
on our assessment of the time required to complete this work,
Boeing is reprioritizing production resources for a few weeks to
support the inspection and rework. As that work is performed, the
787 production rate will temporarily be lower than five per month
and will gradually return to that rate. Boeing now expects to
deliver fewer than half of the 787s currently in inventory this
year.
"We will continue to take the necessary time to ensure Boeing
airplanes meet the highest quality prior to delivery. Across the
enterprise, our teams remain focused on safety and integrity as we
drive stability, first-time quality and productivity in our
operations," the company added.
Major program deliveries during the second quarter were as
