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.

A nascent recovery from Boeing’s troubles stalled in the fall when a 52-day Machinists union strike stopped almost all Boeing jet production in its Puget Sound assembly plants.

Boeing faced significant challenges in 2024, including supply chain issues and a strike, leading to a sharp decline in orders and deliveries. Learn more on BA stock here.
