737 Max crisis: Boeing sees lowest orders in decades

737 Max crisis: Boeing sees lowest orders in decades

Boeing has reported its worst annual orders in at least two decades – as it remains in crisis over its 737 Max model.

The company also said deliveries of its planes slumped to an 11-year low last year.

It means the US firm has lost its title as the world’s biggest plane maker to European rival Airbus.

The 737 Max has been grounded since March after two crashes in which 346 people were killed.

Boeing said net orders after cancellations for 2019 totalled just 54 planes. That compares with 893 the previous year.

  • 31 January 2019: Boeing reports an order of 5,011 Max planes from 79 customers

  • 10 March 2019: A 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashes, killing all 157 people on board

  • 14 March 2019: Boeing grounds entire 737 Max aircraft fleet.
