Boeing's earnings fell 21% in the first three months of the year because of the crisis that grounded its bestselling 737 Max jet.

The aircraft maker reported both lower revenue and profits compared to a year ago. Before the fatal flight that grounded the jet and halted deliveries, it had been expected to report improved results in the quarter.
