Airbus' deliveries beat Boeing's in 1st 9 months of 2019

Airbus SE reported 571 commercial aircraft deliveries in the first nine months of 2019, overtaking Boeing Co.'s 302 deliveries for the same period as the U.S. plane maker continues to grapple with the aftermath of two fatal crashes involving its 737 MAX model.

Boeing's deliveries in the first nine months of 2019 also marked a nearly 47% decline from the same period a year ago, when it delivered 568 commercial aircraft.

Airbus posted 303 total orders in the January-September period in 2019, while Boeing recorded negative 84 orders, resulting from contractual changes, order cancellations and conversions.

In the third quarter, Boeing received orders for 62 commercial aircraft, including one 737 MAX, and delivered 63 planes.

Boeing recently announced a new product and services safety organization that would streamline safety-related duties of its businesses and operating units. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Oct. 2 ordered aircraft operators to check for structural cracks on Boeing's 737 Next Generation aircraft after the company discovered the issue on a plane in China.

The U.S. aerospace giant had expected the troubled model to make a comeback early in the fourth quarter, according to CEO Dennis Muilenburg.

But the 737 MAX planes' return to service may be further delayed as the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the FAA are not seeing eye to eye on the aircraft's reconfigured dual flight-control systems, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the details.

The EASA, which was not convinced with the safety of the new control system, has indicated the need for additional checks, while Boeing and the FAA are still conducting the initial tests, the Journal said, citing the people. However, the EASA has not declared the particulars of the extra tests, the Journal added, citing people close to the discussions.
