Boeing has reported a narrower-than-expected loss of $7 million for the first quarter of 2024, reflecting improvements across its business units. The company's revenue reached $22.22 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $21.78 billion. This marks a 14% increase in sales compared to the same period last year. Boeing's commercial aircraft unit delivered 143 airplanes, a 10% increase from the previous year, despite still posting an operational loss. CEO Kelly Ortberg, who took over in August 2024, expressed pride in the team's resilience amid ongoing challenges. Boeing is also optimistic about the certification of the long-delayed 737 Max 7 and Max 10 aircraft, expected later this year, with deliveries slated to begin in 2027. Additionally, the defense segment saw a 21% revenue increase to $7.6 billion.
