Boeing's Q1 commercial-plane deliveries up 54%
Boeing Co. said Tuesday it delivered 77 commercial airplanes in the first quarter, which is 54% more than the number delivered in the first quarter of 2020. Most of those delivered in the first quarter, or 63 jets, were of the narrow-bodied 737. The aerospace and defense company last week flagged a new problem with 737 Max jets, notifying some airline customers of a potential issue with a component of the electrical power system.
