Airframers boosted by drop in deferrals

摘要

Three of the leading airliner manufacturers say that customer deferral activity is stabilising or even slowing, and 2009 production rates look set to achieve the delivery targets that were set at the start of the year.rnBoeing chief executive James McNerney says that deferrals have slowed in the third quarter of the year. Speaking during the company's second quarter earnings call, he characterised the drop in activity as a "meaningful" one, but added that he would treat that data cautiously.
