Boeing Co.’s jetliner deliveries fell sharply in the first three months of the year, an early indication of the financial fallout threatening the planemaker after two deadly crashes prompted regulators worldwide to ground its 737 Max models.
The company delivered just 89 of its single-aisle 737 jets in the first quarter, including 57 of the Max variant, according to data posted on Boeing’s website Tuesday. That’s about a third fewer shipments of the aircraft family in the same period a year earlier.
