(Reuters) – Boeing jetliner deliveries rose in August to 35 airplanes as the U.S. planemaker resumed handovers of its 787 Dreamliner after a 15-month delay.

Boeing said monthly deliveries included 27 737 MAX jets, two 787s and five freighters. That raised the total MAX deliveries this year to 240 jets and overall deliveries to 277 through August.

Shares of the U.S. planemaker were down 5% at $150.76 in afternoon trade, reflecting a selloff in the broader market after data showed monthly consumer prices unexpectedly rose in August.

Boeing deliveries in July had fallen to a five-month low of 26 airplanes, highlighting pressure on global supply chains.

Boeing also on Tuesday reported 30 new gross orders for airplanes, including 13 737 MAX planes and reported 26 net new orders as four 737 MAXs were debooked including two for Chinese-based Okay Airways.

Boeing in August delivered its first 787s since May 2021 — a 787-9 Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) and a 787-10 to KLM, part of Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA). But two 787s for American Airlines (AAL.O) that were “contractually delivered” in August were not yet booked as delivered because Boeing is performing some pre-scheduled post-delivery customization.
