Net income in the second quarter was $1.8 billion, up from the $234 million loss in the year-ago period due to one-time costs on its military and commercial aircraft programs. / AFP PHOTO / ERIC PIERMONT
SEATTLE: Boeing will raise its production of 787 Dreamliner passenger jets to 14 a month in 2019, chief executive Dennis Muilenberg said on Wednesday, pressing ahead with plans that had been placed on hold as it gauged demand for wide-body jets.
The decision to raise output from 12 a month was announced at a conference, a spokesman said, shortly after Boeing struck a preliminary deal to sell eight of the jets to Malaysia Airlines. - Reuters
