SEATTLE-<\/strong> Airfare prices for your summer vacation may skyrocket this year due to manufacturing delays for new Boeing<\/a> aircraft, which will likely reduce the number of flights available in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. airlines are anticipated to receive 40% fewer planes than they had planned for last year, leaving the industry scrambling to find ways to accommodate the expected record air travel this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing Planes Affecting Airfares in Summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“From a consumer standpoint, with demand strong and supply relatively weak, that’s a recipe for higher airfares,” Richard Aboulafia, the managing director of Aerodynamic Advisory, told NBC News<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supply shock for the airline industry results from the delayed delivery of new Boeing planes. United Airlines (UA) <\/a>was contracted to receive 43 Boeing 737 Max 8 planes and 34 Max 9 models in 2024 but now expects to receive 37 and 19, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing’s Max 10s face the most significant delay, as the expected model has yet to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA<\/a>) and has not been provided with a timetable for delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Airlines was contracted to receive 80 Max 10s this year and 71 in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Southwest (WN) <\/a>and United Airlines have suspended hiring due to the delays, and United has offered pilots unpaid leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Southwest and Alaska Airlines cannot forecast how many flights they will be able to handle due to the delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Alaska Airlines flight initially triggered the recent turmoil at Boeing. A blowout of part of the plane’s fuselage<\/a> has led to multiple investigations into Boeing and its manufacturing practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It means higher prices, but also planes that would be more full than they would otherwise be,” said Scott Keyes, the founder of Going.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
