Boeing has delivered the 377th 737 of 2012 to United Airlines, marking the greatest number of a single commercial family ever delivered by the manufacturer in one year. The aircraft was a 737-900ER from the Continental Airlines backlog. The previous annual record for the 737 was in 2010, when 378 aircraft were delivered, and with almost a full month still to go before the end of the year, this new figure is likely to get close to 390.
To avoid a repeat of the painful experiences of the recent 787 and 747-8 development programs, Boeing is creating a new organization called Airplane Development that will be dedicated to bringing aircraft through development and certification.
