Boeing Delivers 97 Planes in 2nd Quarter
From the Associated Press
Boeing Co. said it delivered 97 commercial airplanes in the second quarter, bringing its total at the year’s midpoint to 195, or just less than half of its full-year forecast.
The maker of commercial planes, No. 2 to Airbus, needs 200 deliveries in the second half of the year to meet its estimate of 395 in 2006.
The quarterly total consisted of 70 single-aisle 737s, 17 wide-body 777s, four 747s, three 767s and three 717s. Chicago-based Boeing delivered 98 commercial planes in the first quarter.
