SEATTLE, March 10 (Reuters) – Boeing said on Monday it delivered 51 jets in February, an increase from 46 in January and the U.S. planemaker’s highest total for February since 2018, despite ongoing challenges with premium class seats for 787s.
Its deliveries far outpaced its European rival Airbus. Deliveries are closely tracked by investors as planemakers collect the majority of their payment when they hand over jets to customers. Boeing has lagged Airbus in deliveries every year since 2018.
