Boeing has announced moves to raise as much as $19bn (£14.6bn) as it tries to shore up its finances amid a costly worker strike and an ongoing crisis over the safety of its planes.

The US planemaker on Monday said it would sell 90m common shares, raising about $14bn, plus another $5bn in depositary shares.
