FILE- A Boeing 737 MAX 7 is displayed during a debut for employees and media on Feb. 5, 2018, in Renton, Wash. Boeing received orders for only four new planes in May — and for the second straight month, none for its best-selling 737 MAX , asThe results released Tuesday compared unfavorably with Europe's Airbus , which reported net orders for 15 planes in May — 27 sales but 12 cancellations.
Boeing also saw Aerolineas Argentinas cancel an order for a single MAX jet, bringing its net sales for the month to three.The dismal results followed poor figures for April, when Boeing reported seven sales — none of them for the MAX. Boeing hopes that the slow pace of orders reflects a lull in sales before next month's Farnborough International Airshow, where aircraft deals are often announced.
But the Federal Aviation Administration is capping Boeing's production of 737s after a door plug blew out from an Alaska Airlines MAX, allegations by whistleblowers that Boeing has taken shortcuts to produce planes more quickly, and reports of falsified inspection records on some 787 Dreamliner jets.
Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia, delivered 24 jetliners in May, including 19 MAX jets. Ireland's Ryanair got four and Alaska Airlines took three. Airbus said it delivered 53 planes last month.
