Boeing also must sell more 787s so it can proceed with plans to lift output to 14 planes a month from 12 in the next few years, Muilenburg said.

That increase has looked iffy and some investors have worried Boeing would abandon it. Muilenburg said Boeing still plans to lift 787 output and currently does not envision a scenario that would require cutting 787 output below 12 a month.

Boeing shares were up 0.4 percent at $164.42 in afternoon trading.

The Singapore Airlines order is a boost for the 787 assembly line, but it does not help with slow 777 sales, since the order is for the newer 777X model.

Muilenburg said the airplane market is still “very healthy” with passenger traffic growing 5 percent to 6 percent a year, well ahead of GDP rates.

But airlines have deferred delivery of about 2 percent of Boeing’s backlog, double the figure Muilenburg cited in July, though well below historical averages.

Boeing has already cut 777 output to 7 planes a month from 8.3, and will trim it to 5 a month in August. Deliveries – which generate the bulk of airline payments – will actually fall to about 3.5 a month as Boeing builds 777X test planes in the next few years, he said.
