The company confirmed total Q1 orders fell from 180 this time last year to just 95, with no new orders at all for the 737 MAX – its top-selling model. Deliveries of 737 aircraft, meanwhile, fell from 132 during Q1 last year to 89.
Total Q1 commercial aircraft deliveries fell to 149 from 238 in Q4 2018 and from 184 in Q1 2018. Just 11 MAX aircraft were delivered during March, down from 26 in February.
Deliveries have been frozen since the 737 MAX was grounded following the crash involving Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 in early March, which killed all 157 people on board.
