BOEING DELIVERIES OF NEW JETS DIP AS THE COMPANY AND A KEY SUPPLIER STRUGGLE WITH PRODUCTION FLAWS

Boeing deliveries of new airline jets slumped in the third quarter as the company struggled with production problems that are cutting into its ability to generate cash.

Boeing said this week that it delivered 27 planes in September, including 15 of its bestseller, the 737 Max.

That was far behind European rival Airbus, which delivered 55 planes last month. It brought the Arlington, Virginia, company's quarterly total to 105 deliveries, down from 112 in the same period last year.
