- Total company backlog of US$636 billion, including 5,900 commercial aircraft
"With a sustained focus on safety and quality, we achieved important milestones in our recovery as we generated positive free cash flow in the quarter and jointly agreed with the FAA in October to increase 737 production to 42 per month," said Kelly Ortberg, Boeing president and chief executive officer. "While we are disappointed in the 777X schedule delay, the airplane continues to perform well in flight testing, and we remain focused on the work ahead to complete our development programs and stabilize our operations in order to fully recover our company's performance and restore trust with all of our stakeholders."

Third quarter revenue for Commercial Airplanes increased to US$11.1 billion primarily due to higher deliveries. A charge impacted third-quarter operating margin on the 777X program.
