Revenue at Boeings services division surged 5.5% to $14.6 billion last year, while according to Stan Deal, Boeing Global Services Chief Executive, the rate of growth in 2018 will probably be even more impressive.
According to Deal, the $50 billion revenue objective at the division could be accomplished during the upcoming five to ten years, while it would “clearly involve” acquisitions.
The revenue split in Boeings services unit is about 50% military and 50% commercial services as of now, but however, a shift in that balance towards commercial could be expected in the future, Deal pointed out.
