Boeing swung to a fourth quarter profit on Tuesday.

The planemaker said it was driven by the sale of its navigation software services provider and by rising jet output and stronger deliveries.

Although the company also recorded a $565 million charge on a tanker program that was due to higher estimated production support and supply chain costs.

The playmaker scored a net profit of $8.22 billion for the quarter through December.

That was way up on a loss of $3.86 billion a year earlier.

The quarterly results included the $10.6 billion sale of its Jepsen unit.

Boeing's fourth quarter revenue rose 57% to just under $24 billion ahead of expectations.

The firm also increased output of its two most popular jetliners, the 737 Max and 787, and

it continued to resolve quality problems which have caused delivery delays over the last few years.

Boeing's commercial airplane unit still posted a quarterly loss of $632 million despite production improvements.

The firm delivered 600 airliners last year across all jet programmes, its most in seven years.

It marked a largely positive update for a company beset by the 737 Max scandal, supply chain issues and quality problems in recent years.
