SEATTLE (Reuters) – Boeing (NYSE:) Co stated Tuesday that in November it gave 34 aircraft to airlines and added 109 to its 737 MAX orders.

Investors closely monitor the delivery tally as they generate cash from the coronavirus crisis. This compares to 27 planes in October and seven during the same year when Boeing was suffering the 737 MAX safety problems.

Boeing was unable to deliver the advanced carbon-composite 787 Dreamliner in November. This jet is still in the midst of retrofits and inspections, likely to delay delivery until April 2022.

Last month’s delivery of 34 aircraft included 28 737 MAXplanes. 10 were delivered to Ryanair, a European low cost carrier. Boeing reported that one P-8 maritime patrol plane was also transferred to Norway.

FedEx Corp (NYSE 🙂 was the only remaining airline that had larger wings: One 767 each for FedEx Corp. United Parcel Boeing stated that Service was one 7477-8 aircraft for Egypt’s defense ministry and two 767 tanksers for U.S. Air Force.

Many airlines had to shut down their passenger aircraft during the pandemic. It has led to increased cargo demand on specially equipped freighters.

Boeing delivered 302. These aircraft are more than double the number of aircraft that it shipped in November and January 2020.

Boeing received 91 aircraft orders in November after cancelations and cases where buyers converted an order to another type.

There were 109 gross orders. All of them were for the 737 MAX, its jetliner. The plane returned to service in 2020, after a nearly two-year safety ban.

The deal includes 72 MAX aircraft from Akasa, India. This order is almost $9 billion on list price and could allow the U.S. airplanemaker to gain ground in one of its most promising markets.

The order also contained a order for 30 737 MAX aircraft for Miami-based 777 Partners. This company owns Canadian low cost carrier Flair Airlines. There was an unannounced order for seven 737 MAXs to Southwest Airlines (NYSE:).

Gleichzeitig konnten Käufer ihre Bestellungen for 18 737 MAX Jets canceled.

Boeing reported that gross orders rose from 720-829. Or from 373-357 to 457 when cancellations, conversions or stricter accounting standards are applied.
