Boeing, Inc. is one of the largest manufacturing companies in the world. It produces airplanes, communication equipment, and other specialized technology for governments and large corporations. Most of these items are made-to-order and contracted years in advance. The commercial aircraft industry forecasts are measured by the number of people flying each day or week between two points. Air transportation providers then try to match their flight schedules to it at the lowest cost. This might mean a few direct flights with a small plane, or more flights with layovers on large planes.
Changes in the number of flyers are not required for companies to order more airplanes. They need to simply add value to the airline. Replacing a propeller with a small jet can win over people who do not like to fly. Larger planes are overly costly if they do not run
