Boeing said it has completed more than 135 test and production flights of updated software for the 737 Max. The Federal Aviation Administration, as well as regulators around the world, grounded the airplane in mid-March after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines plane. That crash came five months after a Lion Air 7737 Max crashed in Indonesia. A total of 346 people died in the crashes.
The company is expected to submit its plan to fix the Max to the FAA shortly, people familiar with the matter told CNBC.
Boeing reported a total order backlog for its commercial airplane business of $399 billion, citing more than 5,600 orders. That is down from the previous quarter, which had an order backlog of $412 billion with more than 5,900 orders.
The company’s largest business, Boeing’s commercial airplanes division saw deliveries fall 19% year-over-year for the quarter, to 149 aircraft from 184 aircraft.
