Boeing is seeking to raise up to $25bn (£19bn) in an attempt to shore up its finances as the planemaker struggles with production delays amid a strike by 33,000 workers and ongoing safety concerns.

A regulatory filing by the company on Tuesday said it intended to raise the money through a stock and debt offering, which would provide flexibility for Boeing to seek options to support its balance sheet over a three-year period.
