This means the order backlog grew by 31 new planes. This is the first time Boeing has shown positive net orders since November 2019.<br /><br />The new orders included 25 737 MAX jets for United Airlines, 14 737 MAX aircraft for unidentified customers, and 27 KC-46 tankers for the U.S. Air Force. It also reported it delivered 22 aircraft in February, up from 17 a year earlier. This means Boeing’s order backlog now stands at 4,041 aircraft.Bruce Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181323607060607040noreply@blogger.com
