SEATTLE, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) said Tuesday that
it delivered 53 jets in July, five more than a year earlier, but
a sharp drop from the 64 jets it handed over in June. The U.S.
planemaker trailed European rival Airbus, which
delivered 67 planes in July.
Boeing ( BA ) also booked 30 new orders after adjusting for
cancellations in July, which include a handful of orders
announced during a subdued Farnborough Airshow.
* July deliveries include 39 of Boeing's ( BA ) best-selling 737
MAX jet and 10 787s, as well as one 777 freighter and three
767s.

including 279 737 MAX and 50 787 jets.

during the Farnborough Airshow in July.
* Boeing's ( BA ) biggest order announcement at Farnborough was for
100 737 MAX jets from Irish leasing giant SMBC Aviation, the
world's second-largest leasing company. That order, though, was
booked in June as from an unidentified customer.
