Singapore Airshow 2014. A CAPA preview Part 2: Boeing ramps up production as backlogs climb

Boeing delivered a record 648 aircraft in 2013 and the manufacturer is set to continue to break its own delivery records in 2014. With plentiful demand for its narrowbody and widebody aircraft, Boeing continues to raise production even as its backlog continues to build, now standing at a record 5,080 aircraft.

Although wary of raising output too high, given issues with sections of its supply chain and its own manufacturing facilities, Boeing is also confident that there will be no production bubble. The company plans to deliver between 715 and 725 aircraft in 2014, an increase of around 10%, as it increases deliveries of its popular 737NG and 787 families.
