Boeing managed to deliver sixty-nine 737s in December and set a new annual record of 806 deliveries in 2018, only four short of its target of 810 to 815 despite supplier problems that disrupted production throughout the summer. The delivery total eclipsed its previous record of 763, set in 2017, while Boeing's order book showed net sales of 893 airplanes, including 203 in December.
