BOEING delivered 29 single-aisle jetliners last month, the lowest tally since January 2012, as the planemaker dealt with supplier constraints that left dozens of unfinished 737S parked around a Seattle-area factory, Bloomberg reported. The manufacturer recorded just 39 total commercial-jet deliveries last month, down from 82 in June, according to data posted on the company's website. While it's not unusual for jet shipments to vary from month to month, Boeing's slow July raises concern about its biggest source of profit - the 737s.
Supplier shortfalls are hampering Boeing and Airbus SE as the manufacturers ramp up output of their single-aisle jets, workhorses of budget carriers worldwide, to dizzying heights. Airbus stored as many as 100 of its A320neo family aircraft earlier this year after one of its engine makers, United Technologies Corp's Pratt & Whitney, briefly halted production.
