Boeing, the troubled aerospace giant, says it delivered just 348 aircraft to its customers last year, marking its lowest output since the pandemic. This figure represents a sharp drop from the 528 aircraft delivered in 2023.

Boeing's 2024 deliveries fell by about a third from a year earlier to 348 airplanes. The company's delivery gap with rival Airbus widened as the European plane maker handed over 766 jetliners. Boeing struggled to ramp up production and deliveries due to a midair door plug blowout in January 2024 and then a machinist strike in the fall.

Boeing must turn its fortunes around this year to avoid falling further behind Airbus, which plans a production increase as it fixes its supply chain.
