Boeing production in 2024 expected to be less than half of rival Airbus

US planemaker may have delivered 340 aircraft compared with 766 of European group, analysis suggests

Boeing is expected to confirm it made less than half of the aircraft of its rival Airbus in 2024, with analysts questioning whether the troubled US planemaker will be able to increase its rate of production as planned.

The company is expected to report that it delivered only 340 aircraft to customers, when it publishes numbers on Tuesday, according to forecasts by Flight Plan. That is far below the 766 delivered by Airbus, Europe's planemaking champion.
