Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) says it set a company record of more than $2 billion in e-commerce parts sales in 2021, resulting in part from changes to ease its ordering process, and demand from the recovering airline industry.

The company, which announced the online sales results Monday at the Singapore Air Show, said its Boeing Distribution unit sold almost 70,000 parts-related products through its revamped website to commercial and government customers—a total that topped pre-pandemic levels. The site features more than 500,000 products and logged 5 million visits from 50 countries last year, the company said.
