(Reuters) -Southwest Airlines on Tuesday cut its forecast for the number of aircraft that it expects to receive from supplier Boeing, which is grappling with production delays.
Boeing has advised the company to expect 46 737-8 jets in 2024, a reduction from the previous expectation of 79 737 MAX jets, Southwest said in a filing.
“Southwest now assumes no 737-7 aircraft deliveries and continues to assume no MAX-7 aircraft are placed into service this year based on the current certification status,” the airline said.
