Airbus and Boeing commercial aircraft deliveries for 2019 year-to-date, sorted by most-recent delivery date.

The prolonged delay in closing Embraer’s sale of 80% of its commercial aircraft business to Boeing is eating into the Brazilian aerospace company’s finances in more ways than one, Embraer executives acknowledged Nov. 12 as they released their latest quarterly earnings.

Juneyao Airlines plans to establish a base at Beijing Daxing International Airport, which is expected to bring service rights that could justify buying more Boeing 787-9s, the carrier’s chairperson said.

The FAA and Southwest Airlines are at odds over the carrier’s alleged lack of due diligence on 88 used Boeing 737s it has added to its fleet, and the slow pace the airline is taking to address significant airworthiness issues identified in follow-up inspections.

Boeing has completed one of three key simulator review sessions required to validate its changes to the 737 MAX, and the US manufacturer maintains that initial regulatory approvals and resumption of deliveries could still happen by year-end 2019.
