Boeing achieved a record 724 commercial airplane deliveries in 2014, breaking the company record for a second consecutive year.
Boeing secured 1,432 net orders worth $232.7 billion at list prices, breaking the previous all-time high set in 2007.
Boeing's unfilled commercial orders stood at 5,789 at the end of the year – also a new company all-time high.
In 2014, three individual commercial programs achieved notable milestones, each a single-year record:
- 737 program delivered 485 of the popular single-aisle airplanes
- 777 program delivered 99 airplanes
- 787 program delivered 114 Dreamliners, including the first 787-9 to launch customer Air New Zealand and first direct deliveries to 13 airline customers.
Of the 1,432 net commercial orders Boeing booked in 2014, the Next-Generation 737 and 737 MAX led the way with 1,104 orders, followed by the 777 and 777X with 283 orders.
All three Boeing Commercial Airplanes production sites –EverettandRenton, Wash.andNorth Charleston, S.C.– each set new site records for airplane deliveries.
Boeing launched the 737 MAX 200 in September, a variant based on the successful 737 MAX 8. The airplane can accommodate up to 200 seats, increasing revenue potential and providing customers up to 20 percent better fuel efficiency.
Boeing says in 2015 it aims to achieve key milestones on development programs, including the start of assembly of the first 737 MAX and firm configuration for the 777X.
