Future Deliveries
Future production rate does not look good.
For Boeing, remaining 747 and 767 are not for passengers, and will be built at 0.5 or 3 per month respectively; 737 MAX is still being grounded, production may be restarted soon but may need a long time to ramp up; 787 production rate will go down from current 14 per month to 7 per month in 2022, and 777 will go down from 5 to 3.
For Airbus, the plan is 40 per month for the A320 Family, 2 per month for A330 and 6 per month for A350.
Deliveries of the A380 will cease in 2022, though news says Emirates is trying to cancel 5 out 8 of the remaining orders. 747 and 767 may also run out of orders in a couple years at the current production rate, will the programs end?
