{{Infobox Company| company_name = Boeing Commercial Airplanes| company_logo = | company_type = Division (business)| foundation = 1916, Seattle, WA, [United States| key_people = Scott Carson (businessman), CEO| industry = Aerospace| subsid = [Jeppesen, based in [Renton, Washington, Washington consisting of the Seattle, Washington-based former Boeing Airplane Company (the civil airliner division), as well as the Long Beach, California-based Douglas Aircraft Company division of the former McDonnell Douglas. In 2006, Boeing was the world’s largest civil aircraft company in terms of orders, overtaking Airbus for the first time since 2000. President and CEO Alan Mulally led Boeing's civil aircraft arm, until he was nominated as CEO of Ford Motor Company on 5 September 2006. He was succeeded by Scott Carson (businessman).

Airplane numbering system The Boeing numbering system for commercial airliners starts with the airplane's model number, e.g. Boeing 377) followed by a dash and three digits (two numbers) following the pattern Boeing xxx-scc. In general, since the Boeing 707, the model number takes the form of a 7 followed by a digit and then by another 7, e.g. 737.

The series number is a single digit (s), e.g. -200. The following two digits number (cc) is attributed according to the company the aircraft was first delivered to. These two digits are called Boeing customer codes. For instance, a Boeing 767-300 delivered to Air Canada would take the designation "767-333" while a 777-200 delivered to American Airlines would take the designation "777-223". See List of Boeing customer codes for a more complete list.

Additional letters are sometimes used. These include, "ER" for an "extended range" version or "LR" for the "long range" version.

Specially built models Although aircraft are commonly ordered with features or options at the request of the ordering airline, there are certain models which have been built specifically for the customer.

The Boeing 707-138B was a shortened fuselage, long range model only sold to Qantas.

The Boeing 757-200 Combi was a single example model built for Royal Nepal Airlines (later renamed Nepal Airlines), though the engineering design of the freight door was subsequently used when United Parcel Service was the launch customer for the 757-200PF several years later.

The 747SP production line was re-opened nearly four years after the supposedly final 747SP was built. One aircraft was built for the United Arab Emirates. The cockpit, unlike that of other 747SP, had a crew of two instead of three.

Douglas, prior to its merger with McDonnell, built the DC-9-20 for Scandinavian Airlines. This model combined the fuselage of the DC-9-10 with the wings of a DC-9-30. No other airline ordered the aircraft.
