At the end of November, Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) reported that it had delivered 96 of its 787 Dreamliners to customers in 2014. When the company reports order and delivery status for December on Tuesday, Boeing is expected to say that it delivered 18 of the planes during the month, bringing the total for 2014 to 114. The company’s stated production goal for the plane is 10 per month, and Boeing had guided 787 deliveries to total around 110 for 2014.

For all of 2013, Boeing delivered 648 commercial aircraft, including 440 737s, the same number that it has delivered in the first 11 months of 2014. Deliveries of the 777 look to be on track to meet last year’s total of 98, but deliveries of the 747 and 767 are well behind 2013 totals.

At the end of November, Boeing reported delivering a total of 647 planes for the year. Adding in 18 new Dreamliners and estimating that monthly production for the 737 and 777 will at least match the average for the first 11 months of the year yields an estimated total of 714. That does not include any 747 or 767 deliveries.

In early December analysts at Sterne Agee said they expected Boeing’s November deliveries to include 42 737s, three 747-8s, one 767, nine 777s and seven Dreamliners. But if the estimate is correct on the 787 deliveries and the other Sterne Agee numbers are good, Boeing will hit 720 deliveries for the year, the low end of its target range.

The estimate for 787 deliveries came from the All Things 787 website, which is the work of a self-described AvGeek.
