Boeing (BA.N) stated that it will delay the delivery of some 737 MAX aircraft after discovering wiring issues in the production of new planes, posing a new setback to the company's plans to accelerate delivery to customers. Boeing said on Tuesday that they found evidence of wire abrasions on undelivered aircraft and traced the problem back to a manufacturing error. The company did not disclose what repairs will need to be made or the number of affected aircraft. A Boeing spokesperson said that the repair of each aircraft may only take a few days, and while this delay may slow overall delivery progress for the month, the company is still committed to delivering approximately 500 737 MAX aircraft to customers this year. Boeing stated on Tuesday that they delivered 43 narrow-body 737 aircraft to customers in February. The company delivered a total of 51 aircraft last month, the highest level for February since 2017.
