Can someone who can get past the paywall tell us what parts shortages are causing the backlog? I know with Airbus the A320NEO is being held up by P&W’s geared turbofan issues.

It appears to be engines on the 737 also (GE “Leap” engines).

“The delays are due largely to two suppliers: engine maker CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric Co. and Safran SA, and fuselage manufacturer Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. Both companies have said some of their own small suppliers are struggling to meet demand.

CFM executives have pledged to catch up on engine deliveries that have been several weeks behind. Spirit AeroSystems said it has resolved problems and resumed on-time shipments to Boeing. “

Engines and some parts having to do with the fuselage. For Airbus it just says delay in parts.
