Boeing said ongoing labor and supply chain disruptions also hindered the company\u2019s results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the outlook for Boeing\u2019s defense unit showed signs of improvement from the first quarter of 2022, when it reported a $929 million loss. Boeing defense also brought in $6.5 billion in revenues in this year\u2019s first quarter, a more than $1 billion increase over 2022\u2032s first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing also trimmed its overall losses in the quarter by about $1 billion from the same period in 2022, while overall revenues grew to nearly $18 billion in the first three months of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing said the charge was largely driven by a previously disclosed quality issue due to a supplier, but did not offer further details in a call with analysts. The aviation news website the <a href=\"https:\/\/theaircurrent.com\/aircraft-production\/boeing-kc-46-767-fedex-ups-center-tank\/\" target=\"_blank\">Air Current<\/a> reported in March a subcontractor had not followed proper painting and priming procedures on the center fuel tanks of some KC-46s and 767s, on which the KC-46 is based, which has held up deliveries. That quality issue could risk contamination of the aircrafts\u2019 fuel systems, Air Current reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brian West, Boeing\u2019s chief financial officer, confirmed the quality issue with the 767 center fuel tanks later that month at a Bank of America conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David Calhoun, Boeing\u2019s chief executive, said on Wednesday\u2019s call work is progressing on fixing<b> <\/b>that problem. But the company warned investors more losses on the KC-46 could come during the remainder of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calhoun said the company is seeing bright spots in its defense business, with the Air Force possibly buying additional, modified KC-46s as an interim step until it can bring on a next-generation tanker. He also pointed to the up to $1.2 billion contract the Air Force awarded Boeing in February to start building the E-7A battle management aircraft, to replace the aging E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control system, or AWACS, aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awards in the first quarter for 15 more KC-46s and 184 Apache helicopters for the Army also reflected strong demand, Calhoun said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the KC-46 subcontractor&#8217;s quality problem, which Boeing said is being fixed, the company saw signs of strong demand for
