Southwest Airlines Co. expects the strike by Boeing Co. workers and a lengthy push to boost production to once again limit the number of aircraft it receives next year.“It’s too early to tell, but I wouldn’t be surprised if our deliveries from Boeing in ‘25 are lower than we originally thought,

The low-cost carrier was scheduled to receive 86 aircraft in 2025. However, it has now lowered that estimate to 73 aircraft. BNN Bloomberg quotes Southwest Chief Executive Officer Bob Jordan as saying, “It’s too early to tell, but I wouldn’t be surprised if our deliveries from Boeing in ‘25 are lower than we originally thought.”

Southwest’s order book with Boeing had originally called for 86 aircraft deliveries in 2025, but the airline has since lowered that number to 73.
