Boeing Posts Smaller Quarterly Loss

Boeing Posts Smaller Quarterly Loss

The results signal a continued recovery for the U.S. planemaker after years of crises that left it with a mountain of debt.

Boeing beat analyst expectations on both top and bottom lines, with its backlog reaching a record $695 billion.

Despite wiring flaws that delayed some deliveries, the company still expects FAA certification for the new 737 Max 7 and Max 10 models this year.

CEO Kelly Ortberg stated that the turnaround is picking up speed as the company regains its delivery lead over European rival Airbus.
