Boeing Co. said Thursday it delivered 124 commercial planes in the third quarter compared with 113 in the third quarter a year earlier.
The company said 100 of those deliveries were of its 737 Next Generation, compared with 90 a year earlier.
Boeing said last month it would boost production of its narrow-body 737 plane to 38 per month in 2013 to meet expected long-term demand in that market.
Shares of Boeing, a Dow component, were down 11 cents percent at $68.47 on the New York Stock Exchange.
