The company earlier said it had 815 orders for the C919 from 28 customers, including GE Capital Aviation Services and Thailand’s City Airways.

Boeing says the last 747 it will ever build left its assembly line this week. It's the end of an aviation era that began with Pan Am's first commercial flight of the jumbo jet in 1970.

SEATTLE — (AP) — After more than half a century, Boeing is set to roll its last 747 out of a Washington state factory on Tuesday. It took more than 50,000 Boeing employees less than 16 months to churn out the first 747. The last was scheduled to roll out of Boeing’s massive factory in Everett, Washington, on Tuesday night. Boeing's roots are in the Seattle area, and it has assembly plants in Washington state and South Carolina. Boeing’s relationship with the FAA has been strained since deadly crashes of its best-selling plane, the 737 Max, in 2018 and 2019.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — (AP) — An unmanned U.S. military space plane landed early Saturday after spending a record 908 days in orbit for its sixth mission and conducting science experiments. The solar-powered vehicle, which looks like a miniature space shuttle, landed at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. For the first time, the space plane hosted a service module that carried experiments for the Naval Research Laboratory, U.S. Air Force Academy and others. Among the experiments was a satellite dubbed the FalconSat-8 that was designed and built by academy cadets in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory. “This mission highlights the Space Force’s focus on collaboration in space exploration and expanding low-cost access to space for our partners, within and outside of the Department of the Air Force,” said Gen.

BEIJING — (AP) — China is displaying its latest generation fighter jets and civilian aircraft this week as it looks to carve a larger role for itself in the global arms trade and compete with Boeing and Airbus. China is currently the world’s fourth-largest arms exporter and an expanding domestic industry has allowed itself to cut off former dependence on Russia. Between 2017 and 2021, China made up 4.6% of total global arms exports, placing it fourth behind the U.S., Russia and France, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The bulk of its exports went to Pakistan, a long-time ally that shares a mutual rival in the other regional giant, India. On the civilian side, state airplane maker The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China plans 15-minute display flights of its C919 jet that it hopes will compete with Boeing's 737 and the Airbus A320.

Boeing reported a $3.3 billion loss for the third quarter Wednesday, as revenue fell short of expectations, it took a huge losses for fixed-cost defense programs and its commercial-airplane business struggled. CEO David Calhoun said Boeing remains in a "challenging environment" and has “more work ahead to drive stability." The adjusted loss amounted to $6.18 per share on revenue of $15.96 billion. Analysts had expected the company to earn 13 cents per share and post revenue of $17.91 billion. Revenue in Boeing's normally consistent defense and space business tumbled by 20%, and it suffered $2.8 billion in losses for higher estimated manufacturing and supply chain costs on a military refueling tanker, Air Force One and other programs.

Air freight is a tiny part of the overall cargo market, but it's been pushed to the forefront during the pandemic.

Boeing wants to avoid adding the crew-alerting system, which would further delay approval of the new Max 7 and Max 10 jets. The company argues that the system doesn't exist on older 737s, and putting it on future Max jets would add complexity for pilots. Boeing, which is based in Arlington, Virginia, said in a statement Friday that it was working to give FAA the information it needs. “At the same time, we are discussing with policymakers the time needed to complete these certifications, following established processes,” Boeing said. Congress added the alerting-system requirement on planes certified after Dec. 31, 2022 following two deadly crashes involving Max 8 planes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

Boeing is behind schedule in submitting documentation for new versions of its 737 Max jetliner, and it's asking Congress for more time.

United Airlines canceled some flights this week after failing to do mandatory inspections of the front edges of 25 jets' wings.

CHICAGO — (AP) — United Airlines canceled about 18 flights this week when it realized that some of its Boeing 777-200 planes had not undergone required inspections of the front edges of the wings. The airline canceled flights Monday night and Tuesday morning, and said it's trying to rebook stranded passengers. The Federal Aviation Administration said United grounded 25 of the jets after discovering it had failed to inspect slats on the wing edges that are used during takeoffs and landings. The FAA said United reported the issue, and the FAA is reviewing circumstances that led to the missed inspections. The planes seat between 276 and 364 passengers, according to United’s website, and are mostly used on long international flights.

Boeing officials said Thursday they will find new buyers for some Boeing 737 Max jets that were built for Chinese airlines but can't be delivered because China's aviation regulator has not cleared the plane to fly after two deadly crashes. Boeing hopes the move will reduce its inventory of undelivered Max jets, which built up while the planes were grounded around the world. Arlington, Virginia-based Boeing had 290 undelivered 737s in inventory as of June 30, with about half of them earmarked for China, company officials said. In February, Chinese airlines ran flight tests. The importance of the Chinese market to Boeing was underscored in July, when China's three largest airlines ordered nearly 300 planes from its European rival Airbus.
