Boeing Fails To Meet 2016 Order Goal
Ends year with a book-to-bill ratio of less than 1:1

Boeing on Friday issued year-end commercial airplane sales figures that fell short of its 2016 guidance of a 1:1 book-to-bill ratio, suggesting a somewhat less robust market for its airliners than expected early in the year. While delivering 748 commercial airplanes in 2016, it booked net orders for 668 worth $94 billion at list prices. The total backlog at the end of the year stood at 5,715 unfilled orders.
