Machinists are set to fully return this week, but Boeing has said it'll take weeks for factories to get fully rolling. The company reported Tuesday it delivered just 14 jets in October — its lowest mark since November 2020. Boeing is also continuing with plans to cut about 17,000 jobs.

Boeing received its first order after reaching a deal with striking machinists, but it still faces a difficult road ahead.

Avia Solutions Group, which leases aircraft and provides related services, has ordered 40 Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets, with an option to order 40 additional jets, the companies said in a joint statement on Tuesday.
