Chicago (AP) - The debacle surrounding the 737 Max crash plane and the Corona crisis left deep marks on Boeing's order and delivery balance last year.
The bottom line is that the Airbus rival received a good 650 cancellations in 2020.
In total, more than 1000 orders were deleted from the order book because many orders are considered unsafe.
With only 157 airliners, deliveries were also historically bad last year.
In the previous year - which already suffered greatly from the flight bans imposed in the course of two crashes for the bestseller 737 Max - Boeing was able to bring around 60 percent more machines to customers.
The competitor Airbus continues to hurry with 566 jets delivered in 2020.

After all, things have been looking up for Boeing recently.
After the crisis pilot 737 Max was registered again, some orders were received.
On Tuesday, the Post subsidiary DHL Express also announced that it had ordered eight Boeing 777F cargo planes.
In addition, Boeing received an order from the US airline Atlas for its 747-8 jumbo jet, which had already been declared dead.
