Boeing lost $109 million (£79 million) in the third quarter as it struggled to fix problems with its 787 Dreamliner and a space capsule that would ferry astronauts to the international space station.

Those setbacks overshadowed rising orders and deliveries as airlines and Boeing recover gingerly from the pandemic, which devastated air travel and demand for new planes.
