American aircraft manufacturer Boeing delivered 28 commercial aircraft to its customers in the third quarter of 2020.
The company’s commercial aircraft delivery decreased by approximately 55% as it delivered 28 aircraft in the last three months, and 62 in the same period in 2019.
In January-September 9 months period the manufacturer delivered 98 commercial aircraft with a 67,4% drop on last year.
Greg Smith, Boeing executive vice president of Enterprise Operations and chief financial officer said:
“We continue to work closely with our customers around the globe, understanding their near-term and longer term fleet needs, aligning supply and demand while navigating the significant impact this global pandemic continues to have on our industry.”
“We’re taking actions to resize, reshape and transform our business to preserve liquidity, adapt to the new market reality and ensure that we deliver the highest standards of safety and quality as we position our company to be more resilient for the long term. Our diverse portfolio, including our government services, defense and space programs, continues to provide some stability as we adapt and rebuild stronger for the other side of the pandemic.”
Airbus -Boeing’s European rival- has recently reported that it has delivered 145 orders in the third quarter of the year.
