Boeing's commercial unit delivered 116 aircraft in the third quarter, up from 105 deliveries during the same period in 2023.
However, Boeing has delivered 80 fewer commercial aircraft through September than it had during the same period last year. Through September, the commercial unit has delivered 291 aircraft, down from 371 during the first nine months of 2023. Boeing's third-quarter 2024 total of 116 commercial deliveries is up from 92 in the second quarter of this year. The US manufacturer's third-quarter deliveries include 92 737 Max aircraft, six 767s and four 777s and 14 787s. United Airlines received the most Boeing aircraft in the third quarter, with 17 Max jets delivered, followed by Ryanair, which received 14 Max jets.

Thai Airways International is considering a spin off, of its MRO and inflight catering operations into standalone subsidiaries.
Speaking to Thai media, the airline's president Chai Eamsiri said that the potential "spin off" would allow the businesses to compete for third-party business and have the potential to be more profitable than the core airline. "We believe our employees in these business units will not object to this idea," he was quoted by the Bangkok Post as saying. "Should the business units become our subsidiaries, the rewards for the staff will be better because they might make more money than Thai Airways' main airline operations." Eamsiri also said that the airline remains interested in building an MRO facility at U-Tapao but is awaiting further advice from local authorities. In 2018 the airline had signed a joint venture agreement with Airbus to develop the facility to offer maintenance and line services for all widebody aircraft types, including Boeing aircraft. However, Airbus withdrew from the agreement in 2020 as a cash preservation measure due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
