Boeing Sees Steady Production Recovery, Airbus Leads in Commercial Jet Deliveries

Boeing delivered 53 aircraft in October 2025, exceeding its 2024 total. The company’s production has stabilized after a seven-week strike last year, with the FAA lifting the 737 MAX production cap to 42 jets per month. In contrast, Airbus delivered 78 aircraft in the same month, surpassing Boeing’s deliveries for the first time. Boeing’s order book was relatively quiet, with 15 aircraft received in October 2025. The company has a backlog of 6,534 unfilled orders, with 4,777 primarily 737 models. Airbus has consistently outperformed Boeing in commercial aircraft deliveries for several months now. This milestone was reached with the delivery of an A320neo to the Saudi carrier flynas, marking the first time Airbus has outpaced Boeing in total deliveries for a single jetliner series.
