Boeing delivered 89 737 Max since December, airlines place them in storage

Boeing has delivered almost 90 737 Max since US regulators lifted the type’s grounding last November, though airlines have placed those jet in storage, according to Cirium fleets data. Boeing last week disclosed it had recommended that customers remove an undisclosed number of Max from service due to electrical concerns. The company declines to specify how many jets are affected, but one airline said the issue only involves recently delivered jets. Still, the pace at which Boeing has offloaded its once 450-strong inventory of 737 Max puts the company on track reach its goal of delivering half those jets by year end. Boeing had continued manufacturing 737 Max amid much of the grounding, accumulating about 450 undelivered jets by late last year. In October 2020, the Chicago-based airframer’s executives said the company aimed to deliver about half those 450 aircraft before the end of 2021, and the “majority” of the balance in 2022. <br/>
