Boeing earnings soared in the third quarter as deliveries picked up on its huge backlog of orders, the company reported today.
Revenues for the period came in at USD 25.85 billion, up 8.7 per cent from a year ago, translating into net earnings of USD 1.70 billion, up 25.1 per cent over the third quarter of 2014.
Per-share earnings of the world's leading aircraft maker grew even faster, rising 33.0 per cent to USD 2.50.

"Solid operating performance across our commercial and defense businesses during the quarter also supported our continued investment in innovation and our people, and our commitment to return cash to shareholders.
