Boeing said it plans to cut production of widebody 787s and delay a ramp-up of its key 737 Max, which has been grounded since March 2019.

CEO Dave Calhoun on Wednesday said he was "hopeful" that demand for new aircraft, devastated by the coronavirus pandemic, would start rebounding in the second half of next year.

Cancellations of Boeing planes are outpacing new orders this year as airlines reel from the impact of the virus and the company's key 737 Max remains grounded. Calhoun said he expects an uneven recovery from the pandemic for airlines around the world and that carriers that emerge healthy might want to gain an advantage over competitors with newer planes, driving demand.

"China, Europe seem to have a little more control over their environments than the U.S. does at the moment," Calhoun said in an interview with CNBC's " ."
