Southwest Airlines has once again reduced its expected aircraft deliveries from Boeing, citing a decrease in capacity for the second half of 2024. The airline now anticipates 46 737-8 jets, down from the previous estimate of 79, due to regulatory constraints on Boeing's production. This adjustment comes in the wake of a midair panel blowout incident and a subsequent FAA audit that revealed multiple issues with Boeing's 737 MAX production. The ripple effect of these challenges is impacting the airline industry, with Southwest's rival United Airlines considering purchasing more A321neo jets from Airbus to compensate for potential delays in Boeing's 737 MAX 10 certification.

This decision is another blow to Boeing's reputation, as safety concerns continue to mount following a recent incident involving a 737 Max 9 flown by Alaska Airlines. United expects to lose money in the first quarter due to flight cancellations, but shares were up on Tuesday on the airline's full-year profit forecast.
Boeing faces a delay in resuming 737 MAX deliveries to China after an Alaska Airlines incident, prompting China Southern Airlines to conduct additional safety inspections on the aircraft. Chinese aviation regulator instructed airlines to do the same, while holding off on further moves pending U.S. investigations. Restarting MAX deliveries would be a significant development for Boeing's relationship with China, impacted by the MAX crisis and political tensions, and could lead to a financial win for the company.
