Boeing Co. delivered 46 of its 737 family jets in November, its largest such tally in five months, leaving the manufacturer just 24 aircraft short of its revised annual target.

The US planemaker has stepped up its delivery tempo as it streamlines inspections of a supplier defect in some 737 Max models and works to clear already built aircraft from storage lots. Boeing lowered its annual goal to delivering between 375 and 400 of the cash-cow jets in October after shipments slowed to a crawl.
