Boeing delivered 24 commercial airplanes in April, the lowest number so far this year, as the company works through quality issues in the wake of the Alaska Airlines door plug blowout involving a 737 MAX jet.
MAX deliveries also hit a low for the year at 16.

The company has said it aims to ramp up production toward the end of the year. Boeing has delivered 83 MAX jets so far this year, down from 130 during the same period last year.
The company's backlog as of April 30 stood at 5,646, including 4,340 737s.
