(Reuters) - Boeing Co said on Thursday its deliveries rose 7.4 percent in the third quarter, helped by higher demand for its single-aisle 737 jetliners.
Total number of planes delivered in the quarter rose to 202 from 188 a year earlier, the world's biggest planemaker said in a statement.
Boeing delivered 145 of its 737s in the quarter, up from 120 a year earlier.
However, deliveries of 787 Dreamliners fell to 35 from 36, while deliveries of 777 planes fell to 16 from 22.
