SEATTLE—Boeing Co. won the annual jet order race against European rival Airbus SE on an underlying basis but lagged on deliveries as it continues to haul itself slowly out of a succession of crises, new data showed on Tuesday.

The U.S. planemaker said it ended 2021 with 535 net orders after cancellations and conversions that were partially offset by regular accounting adjustments. Gross orders were 909.
