Boeing is set to lose the title of world's biggest plane maker after reporting a 37 percent drop in deliveries for the first half of the year due to the prolonged grounding of its Max jets.
A new problem identified with the grounded Max jets last month has delayed the aircraft's entry into service until at least the end of September, disrupting schedules for airline operators and possibly adding to costs for Boeing. Deliveries of the Max aircraft were stopped in March after an Ethiopian Airlines crash killed all 157 people on board. Since then, Boeing has not reported any new order for the Max planes.
