Boeing Commercial Airplanes, based in Renton, Washington, is a unit of The Boeing Company, consisting of the Seattle-based former Boeing Airplane Company (the civil airliner division), as well as the Long Beach-based Douglas Aircraft division of the former McDonnell Douglas Corporation. It is the largest manufacturer of civil aircraft as measured by total sales revenue (2005), but the second-largest civil aircraft manufacturer in total aircraft orders after Airbus. 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 is succeeded by Scott Carson.

[edit] Boeing customer codes

Main article: List of Boeing customer codes

Boeing customer codes are used to identify the operator for which an aircraft was first ordered by. To use a 747-400 as an example, the codes follow the format 747-4XX, i.e. 747-422 (United Airlines) or 747-436 (British Airways).

Airbus does not follow this practice, an A340-642 denotes a model 600 (6), Rolls-Royce engines (4) and second version of that series (2).
