The world's largest planemaker expects 2022 deliveries to fall "not materially short" of the previous forecast of "around 700" which is now "out of reach", it said in a statement.

Reuters reported on Friday that the target was under review after November deliveries fell short of expectations.

The announcement, originally due on Dec. 8, was brought forward by two days.
