Boeing surpasses delivery goals, achieves 70% net order boost in 2023
Boeing met jetliner delivery goals and recorded a 70 per cent boost to net orders in 2023, reflecting strong air travel and aircraft demand, while European rival Airbus remained the largest planemaker for the fifth year running.
Boeing released its year-end figures on Tuesday as it contends with the fallout from an accident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9, which lost a fuselage panel in mid-air last week.
The US planemaker delivered 528 aircraft in 2023 and booked 1,314 net new orders after allowing for cancellations, up from 480 deliveries and 774 net new orders in 2022 and its third-best year.
