During the quarter, Boeing was able to boost commercial aircraft revenue to $8.8bn, driven by 136 deliveries and a ramp-up of its popular 737 programme.

The 737 programme is increasing production to 38 completions per month and anticipates delivering between 400-450 planes this year.

Boeing president and CEO Dave Calhoun highlighted the progress made in Q2 and explained how the company will continue to grow its production in the year ahead.

Calhoun said: “We had a solid Q2 with improved deliveries and strong free cash flow generation. We are well-positioned to meet the operational and financial goals we set for this year and for the long term.
