Southwest Airlines Company LUV reportedly expects reduced Boeing Company BA deliveries this year, impacting its growth plans. Boeing's production cuts and regulatory issues compound Southwest's challenges. Southwest anticipates only about 20 Boeing MAX jets this year, a significant decrease from the initial 85 planned, reported Reuters, noting that the estimate has already been slashed twice. This setback follows Boeing's lower deliveries in March due to quality checks and safety concerns. Boeing's 737 MAX production remains constrained, affecting Southwest's operational targets.
