\n787 deliveries in May were borderline anemic as Boeing delivered only 10 787s while still rolling out 14 airplanes from their Everett and Charleston factories.\u00a0 And a sign that the 737 Max woes are far from over, Boeing is now sending Everett built 787s to Charleston were they will be delivered.\u00a0 This is in an apparent reaction to the continuing 737 Max mess as Boeing needs more parking space to store the 737s coming off the Renton line.<\/p>\n

In terms of deliveries, Charleston did clear a good deal of 787 s that were crowding the flight line there but Everett deliveries plunged from 8 in April to only 2 in May.\u00a0 May deliveries included 7 787-9s and 3 787-10s, including the last 787-10 flight test airplane and the only flight test airplane fitted with GE engines.\u00a0 Through the end of May 2019, Boeing has delivered 839 787 (361 x 787-8, 451 x 787-9 and 27 x 787-10).<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n

787 production continued at the 14\/month pace as we saw 14 787s enter final assembly in May and 14 787s rolled out. However the flightlines are becoming increasingly crowded at both final assembly locations.In April Boeing delivered 12 airplanes and 10 in May for a total of 22 deliveries.\u00a0 In those same two months Boeing rolled a total of 28 787s thus deliveries are not keeping up with production and that is concerning.\u00a0 It’ll be interesting to see what June’s delivery rate will be as I do expect that production will continue at the current pace.<\/p>\n

Because of the lack of parking space to store the 737 MAX airplanes that are coming off the assembly line in Renton, Boeing will be ferrying completed 787s from Everett to Charleston where final pre-delivery work and tests will be completed and the aircraft formally handed over to customers at that build site.\u00a0 Boeing needs more storage space for the 737s and Everett is still has space.\u00a0 However, with the storage of KC-46A and 737s it is getting quite crowded.\u00a0 It is now expected that the 737 MAX won’t return to the air until late this year and it will take quite a bit of time to clear the backlog that has been stored at Boeing Field, Renton and Everett.\u00a0 I expect that deliveries of Everett built 787s will be made from Charleston for quite some time to come.<\/p>\n

New 787 orders are still a little slow though the 787-10 finally landed a new customer in Air New Zealand last month for 8 x 787-10 plus 12 options on the -9\/-10.\u00a0 Boeing hasn’t released it’s May orders and delivery report yet so it’ll be interesting to see if there are any other 787 orders in May.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/span><\/b><\/a> did come out with a nice scoop yesterday, revealing that Boeing and China are in talks for a 100 plane widebody aircraft order which includes more 787s and 777X.\u00a0 However, this potential order may not come through because of the on going trade war between Trump and China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nLastly, I have updated my 787 production spreadsheets to reflect the firing order up to L\/N 1000.\u00a0 You can check out the spreadsheets by clicking on the link below:<\/p>\n
