Boeing jet deliveries drop 17% in July 

SEATTLE, Aug 11 (Reuters) - ‌Boeing said ​Tuesday ​that it delivered 53 jets in July, five more than a year earlier, but ‌a sharp drop from the 64 jets it ⁠handed over in June. The U.S. planemaker trailed European rival ‌Airbus, which delivered 67 planes ‌in July.

Boeing also booked 30 new orders after adjusting for cancellations in July, which include a ​handful of orders announced during a subdued Farnborough Airshow.

• July deliveries include 39 of Boeing's ⁠best-selling 737 MAX jet and 10 787s, as well as one 777 ​freighter and three 767s.

• Through July, Boeing has delivered 367 jets this year, including ​279 737 MAX and 50 ‌787 jets.

• Boeing booked 38 new orders with eight cancellations in July, resulting ⁠in 30 net new orders. July orders include 18 737 MAX and 19 787 orders. Most of the ⁠orders had been announced during the Farnborough Airshow in July.

• Boeing's ​biggest order announcement at Farnborough was for 100 737 MAX jets from Irish leasing giant SMBC Aviation, the world's ‌second-largest leasing company. That order, though, was booked in June as from an ‌unidentified customer.

• Through July, Boeing has booked more than ⁠130 orders for the ‌737-10, the largest ​MAX variant, according to the company.
