Boeing Delivered 523 Commercial Aircraft in 2023…

The 2023 figure of 523 deliveries is higher than in 2022, which was recorded at 480, around 43 airframes higher than the previous year.
Gross orders from Boeing is recorded at 1,456 units for 2023, which is around 521 units higher than in 2022.
So within this, the American planemaker has managed to improve it’s numbers when it comes to deliveries and also gross orders.
Backlog, as of December 31, 2023, remains at a much healthier 5,626 aircraft for the American planemaker, but is lower than Airbus’ backlog of 8,011 aircraft.
That being said, however, Boeing reflected on a very strong year in aircraft sales, and has managed to achieve quite a lot in a 12-month period.
However, this is being overshadowed by last weekend’s incident involving an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 where a deactivated door separated from the aircraft in flight, which has resulted in share prices dropping.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on the American planemaker to see how many orders they can secure in 2024, as well as whether they can deliver more aircraft than they did in 2023.
