Boeing Co BA shares are taking off Wednesday after the company reportedly told suppliers it sees strong signs of a market recovery

What Happened: On Tuesday, Boeing commercial airplanes chief executive Stan Deal told suppliers he anticipates a recovery across the industry, per Reuters.

Ihssane Mounir has also been named senior vice president of global supply chain at Boeing. The report indicates that the newly appointed head of internal and external supply chains will integrate supply chain strategies across all of Boeing's airplane programs.
