Boeing deliveries are expected to slow substantially as a machinist strike continues.
Boeing managed to deliver a small number of 737 MAX jets after a strike by machinists shut down the Renton, Wash., factory that builds the planes.
But deliveries are expected to slow substantially as the walkout stretches into its second month. The jet maker delivered 33 planes last month, including 28 737s. That's down from 40 jets overall in August and 32 of the 737s. The company says it was able to slip out some delivery-ready planes after the strike started Sept. 13. Analysts estimate Boeing built 10 737s in September, well off the company's goal of 38 per month.
