Boeing 737 MAX deliveries fall in February

Boeing said Tuesday it delivered 28 aircraft in February, down from 38 deliveries the previous month amid supply-chain problems and a delivery pause of several weeks involving the 787 Dreamliner. The US-based aerospace giant has delivered 66 aircraft since the beginning of the year, equivalent to the number delivered by European rival Airbus. Boeing delivered 24 of its bestselling 737 MAX aircraft last month compared to 35 in January. While the drop-off in deliveries was somewhat expected, with Boeing CFO Brian West last month estimating MAX deliveries in the "low 20s" for February, the situation was further complicated when Boeing discovered a data analysis error that led the FAA to pause 787 Dreamliner deliveries on Feb. 23. The company delivered a single 787 to United Airlines last month, down from three Dreamliners in January.<br/>
