Boeing orders tumble as troubled aircraft maker struggles to overcome its latest crisis

Associated Press  

Boeing orders tumbled in April and were outnumbered by canceled sales in another sign of the crisis gripping the troubled aircraft manufacturer. As expected, deliveries of new Boeing jetliners were weak, at 24 in April, pushing the U.S. company farther behind Airbus, its European rival. The Federal Aviation Administration is limiting production of new Boeing 737 Max jets while the company tries to improve its manufacturing quality. While Boeing’s April numbers were bleak, the company said it hit a milestone by delivering the 1,500th 737 Max last month to Ireland’s Ryanair.
