Boeing delivered fewer commercial planes in the third quarter compared with the year-ago period, according to figures released on Thursday by the US aerospace giant. Boeing delivered 188 planes during the July-September period, down 5.5 percent from the same stretch in 2015.
Deliveries of the 737 family of aircraft fell 4.8 percent, to 120 planes. The company delivered 22 of the long-range 777, five fewer than a year ago, and 36 of the 787 Dreamliner, down one. The benchmark is closely monitored by Wall Street because aerospace companies book revenues when deliveries are made. Through the third quarter, Boeing delivered 563 planes in all, suggesting it will meet its full-year target to deliver 740-745 planes for 2016.
