Boeing said Tuesday that it delivered 24 737s in the second quarter, down sharply from the 89 delivered in the first quarter.

The announcement comes a day after Boeing said Saudi airline Flyadeal canceled an order worth up to $5.9 billion in favor of a deal with rival Airbus.

Boeing Co. has been on a campaign to restore the reputation of its best-selling 737 Max since crashes off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia killed 346 people. The Max has been grounded since March.
