Boeing said there were 31 deliveries in 2012 of the 747-8 Intercontinental and Freighter and that both have received positive reviews from customers and are performing as expected in service.
“Our employees rose to the challenge of executing several production rate increases in 2012—a truly remarkable performance,” said Ray Conner, president and CEO, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “Increasing our deliveries by 26 percent allowed us to put more airplanes into the hands of our customers and grow our customer base by offering the best products and services.”
The 737 program broke the record for orders for any Boeing model in a single year, accumulating 1,124 net orders. The 737 MAX – the new engine variant of the best-selling 737 – recorded 914 of those orders, bringing total orders to date to 1,064. In addition, the Next-Generation 737 set a new single-year record with 415 deliveries to customers worldwide.
“As we look ahead to 2013, we’re focused on meeting our customer commitments by increasing production rates and delivering high-quality, reliable products and services,” Connor said.
