Boeing News Release: Boeing Reports First Quarter 2000 Deliveries

Boeing Reports First Quarter 2000 Deliveries

The Boeing Company today announced first quarter 2000 deliveries across its commercial, military and space operations. The company reported delivering 74 commercial jet transports, plus one 747 delivered for the U.S. Air Force, in the first quarter of 2000 - down from the 125 deliveries originally planned. This reflects delivery delays as the company recovers from a 40-day strike by engineers and technical workers that ended March 20, 2000.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group delivered 15 airplanes in March. The company still expects to recover from the strike delays and deliver about 490 jetliners, as planned, by the end of the year.

"It's great to have our engineering and technical team back. Though we have work to make up, our planned commercial deliveries for 2000 are less than the record output of last year. Our full attention is focused on once again satisfying our customers with quality products and services," said Phil Condit, Boeing chairman and chief executive officer.
