It is an undeniable fact that Boeing researchers design the latest commercial jets, exclusive military aircraft, modish weaponry, and strategic defense and intelligence systems. However, Boeing being one of the world’s giant aerospace rulers does not only propose and deliver only these services. The company collaboratively works in four versatile domains named Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS), Boeing Global Services, and Boeing Capital. This article will focus on how these four divisions work parallel with each other to generate revenue for Boeing.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes
Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), researches, designs, and releases updated commercial airplanes into the industry. These made on-demand jets are hand on hand taken by the airline industry around the globe. These aircraft include both the passenger and freight carriers which fulfill the varying requirements of their caretakers. Alongside, it carries the responsibility of providing fleet support service to global airliners. It is the same division of Boeing which introduced the B737 MAX that was grounded due to two consecutive fatal crashes. The grounding of a well-desired aircraft had not proved beneficial for the overall company’s revenue stream. However, now both FAA and EASA have granted approval to rejoin the skies upon getting a modification. Therefore, this division will resume manufacturing B737 MAX that will support the declining revenue to reach its peak. In the fiscal year 2020, this division of Boeing Commercial Airplanes made 28% of the total revenue of Boeing.

It is evident from the fact that during FY 2020, this department shared 83% of the total revenue of this domain.
