Boeing during February logged orders for five 737 Max aircraft from unidentified customers, while delivering 28 aircraft amid the temporary halt of 787 widebody shipments late that month. The monthly orders report, released on 14 March, coincides with Boeing's announcement of its fifth-largest commercial order by value in its history. Saudi Arabian flag carrier Saudia and new airline Riyadh Air, owned by the Kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund, together placed 39 orders each for 787-9 and 787-10 aircraft. The sole five orders booked in February is a sharp decline compared with orders for 55 in January, and 37 logged in February 2022. Net orders for Boeing during 2023 stand at 18 aircraft after the airframer factored in cancellations, conversions and the uncertainty of fulfilment. Deliveries in February included 24 737 Max aircraft. The largest shipments went to United Airlines and Southwest Airlines, which received five Max jets each, followed by four sent to Ryanair and two to Alaska Airlines. United also took delivery of one 787-10, while the US airframer sent one 777 freighter to Air China Cargo. Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings took delivery of the final 747 aircraft, a -8 Freighter, from Boeing’s production line. Boeing did not count letters of intent announced in February from Air India for 190 737 Max aircraft, 10 777Xs and 20 787-9s, along with options for 50 additional Max jets and 20 787-9s. The US airframer says that is its largest-ever order from South Asia. On 23 February the airframer disclosed that it had halted deliveries of 787s due to an issue with forward pressure bulkheads on those aircraft. Boeing referred to an “analysis error by our supplier”, pointing to Spirit AeroSystems without naming the company. Spirit said a day later that it was “too early to assert there was an ‘analysis error’ by Spirit”. The US Federal Aviation Administration on 13 March cleared Boeing to resume deliveries of 787s. The FAA must still issue airworthiness certificates for each 787 prior to shipment, as it has done since Boeing resumed deliveries of that type in 2022 after a 10-month hiatus due to production issues.

Taiwanese carrier EVA Air plans to expand its fleet with the purchase of five more 787-9s, to serve mainly on its long-haul network. The airline's board has approved the purchase of 787-9s, to be delivered between 2025 and the end of 2027, it says in a 14 March statement. It notes that this will bring its 787 fleet to 26 jets, comprising 13 787-9s and 13 787-10s. EVA Air president Sun Jianming says the longer range 787-9s will be deployed on European and North American routes, while the higher seat density 787-10s will mainly operate routes in Asia and Oceania. EVA indicates that it has been approved for the entire purchase for up to $355 million per aircraft and up to a total of $1.77 billion, according to a separate filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Fleets data shows EVA has a fleet of 85 aircraft, comprising 77 passenger and eight cargo jets: 21 A320-200ceos, three A330-200s, nine A330-300s, 34 777-300ERs, six 787-10s, four 787-9s and eight 777-200LRFs. Excluding the new commitment, the airline already has 12 Boeing jets on order: four 787-9s, seven 787-10s and a 777 freighter, which are expected to be introduced "before 2025". In August 2020 amid the pandemic, EVA was negotiating with Boeing on the future of its 15 on-order 787-10s, suggesting it was looking to defer or cancel some aircraft. At that time it had five -10s in its fleet.

JetBlue Airways has signed a new agreement with energy company Shell Aviation to bring an additional supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to Los Angeles International airport. Shell Aviation will deliver 10 million gallons of blended SAF over the next two years, the US carrier says. The agreement also provides JetBlue an option to purchase up to five million gallons more in the third year, either at Los Angeles International airport or other airports in its network. The delivery of SAF is expected to begin in the first half of 2023. The additional SAF provided through Shell Aviation at Los Angeles International will airline's SAF supply at the airport, bringing SAF to approximately 15% of JetBlue's total Los Angeles International jet fuel uptake. JetBlue also regularly flies on SAF out of San Francisco and in 2022 signed agreements with three additional SAF producers for future supply, it adds. Shell has announced its ambition to have 10% of its aviation jet fuel sales as SAF by 2030, notes JetBlue. Additionally, the airline aims to reach net zero by 2040, 10 years earlier than industry targets.
