Ramped-up production rates drove a 26 per cent increase in deliveries from 477 deliveries in 2011, the Chicago-based company said, noting the level was the most since 1999.

Boeing booked 1,203 net jetliner orders in 2012, the company's second-largest number to date, and unfilled commercial airplane orders at year-end stood at a record 4,373, the company said.
