Lockheed in discussions with govt to finalize F-35 deliveries for 2022​

Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N), which aims to produce 169 F-35 fighter jets in 2022, is in discussions with the U.S. government to finalize total aircraft deliveries and production rate for the year, the company said in a statement.

"While initial discussions indicated 169 aircraft in 2022, we will provide a production range when finalized," the U.S. weapons maker said.

The U.S. government is Lockheed's biggest customer, accounting for three quarters of its sales last year.

Lockheed provided an estimate about its F-35 production plans at a conference hosted by brokerage Bernstein earlier this week.
