Airbus delivered 63 jets in Q1 2026, the fewest since 2009, raising doubts on meeting a ~700-unit 2026 target (Bloomberg, Apr 10, 2026).

SEATTLE (Reuters) -Boeing said Tuesday that it delivered 60 airplanes in June, a 27% increase compared to a year earlier, including eight to Chinese customers for the first time since a trade spat between the countries ended. Beijing had banned delivery of Boeing (NYSE:BA) aircraft in April as a tariff dispute escalated between the world’s two biggest economies, but in May, it removed that ban, as the two countries agreed to temporarily cut steep tariffs. Aircraft deliveries are closely tracked by Wall Street because planemakers collect much of their payment when they hand over jets to customers. The surge in deliveries comes as Boeing seeks to recover from years of production setbacks and crises that have left it burdened with debt, underscoring the critical importance of ramping up deliveries to stabilize its finances. Boeing delivered 42 of its best-selling 737 MAX jet, nine 787s, four 777 freighters and five 767s, including three to be finished by Boeing’s defense division as KC-46 aerial refueling tankers. Southwest Airlines took delivery of 10 737 MAX aircraft. Five of the 737 MAX jets were for Chinese airlines. Boeing also delivered three other jets to Chinese customers, including a 787 and two 777 freighters. The company delivered 44 jets the previous month and 45 in June 2024. Through the first half of 2025, Boeing has delivered 280 jets, including 206 737 MAX aircraft, 37 787s, 14 767s, 20 777s and three older model 737s to be finished as P-8 Poseidons, a naval reconnaissance airplane. Boeing booked 116 gross new orders in June, including 54 737 MAXes and 62 787s. Alaska Airlines ordered 12 737s, and British Airways ordered 32 787s. Singapore Airlines (OTC:SINGY) also cancelled orders in June for three 737 MAX jets. June’s order activity was a drop from May, when Boeing posted its sixth-highest monthly order tally in Boeing’s history, according to company data. European rival Airbus delivered 60 aircraft in June, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics consultancy. Seven of those were widebody aircraft - three A330s and four A350s. Forty-one were single-aisle A320 and A321 jets that compete with Boeing’s 737, and 12 were A220 regional jets.

By Allison Lampert and Shivansh Tiwary (Reuters) -Boeing reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss on Wednesday, as the U.S. planemaker produced and delivered more jets, after quality problems and a crippling strike shuttered most of its aircraft production late last year. Boeing (NYSE:BA), which has been delivering more jets, wants to roughly double output of its top-selling 737 MAX plane from its January level to a regulator-capped 38 per month by the end of this year. The company’s shares rose 4% in premarket trading, as its loss was not as large as investors feared and after a gradual increase in 737 production during the quarter. The planemaker is working to chart a recovery under recently appointed CEO Kelly Ortberg, who is taking steps to streamline operations and strengthen its balance sheet. But Boeing faces industry supply-chain snags that have delayed some jet production even as planemakers’ backlogs swelled last year on strong demand for aircraft. It reported an $11.8-billion loss for 2024 due to problems at its major units. Boeing is also dealing with the fallout of a U.S.-China trade war that led to the return of two of its planes destined for a Chinese carrier and could further strain relations with the fast-growing aviation market. Free cash flow usage, a metric closely watched by investors, improved during the quarter to negative $2.3 billion, beating analysts’ expectations of negative $3.6 billion on average, according to data compiled by LSEG. Boeing CFO Brian West said in March that cash flow could improve in the first quarter by hundreds of millions of dollars. On Tuesday, Boeing announced the sale of portions of its Digital Aviation Solutions business, including navigation unit Jeppesen, for $10.55 billion, as part of Ortberg’s plan to reduce debt by selling non-core assets. In a letter to employees on Wednesday, Ortberg referred to 2025 as Boeing’s "turnaround year," citing higher first-quarter deliveries and product improvements. "We’re building higher quality airplanes and delivering them with more predictability," he said in the letter. Its revenue increased 18% to $19.5 billion in the quarter through March, marginally above Wall Street expectations of $19.45 billion.

Boeing China News: Stock Falls on Report the Country Suspended Jet Deliveries  Barron's

Airbus stock stays strong with rising jet deliveries and order backlog.

Aviation News – Boeing plans to increase aircraft deliveries in 2026 as its 737 and 787 production lines approach maximum capacity, underscoring a critical step in its industrial recovery. The strategy matters for airlines relying on new jets and for Boeing’s effort to stabilise output after years of disruption. The company told investors during its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call on 27 January that it expects to deliver around 10% more aircraft this year than in 2025.

Aviation News – Boeing’s jet deliveries slipped in November, widening the gap with Airbus and raising fresh questions about production momentum. Boeing delivered 44 commercial aircraft in November, a decline from 53 in October, according to newly released company data. The slower pace puts the US manufacturer behind its European competitor Airbus, which delivered 72 jets during the same month, highlighting ongoing competitive pressures in the global aviation market.

Aviation News – Airbus has reduced its full-year commercial aircraft delivery target to about 790 jets, a 4% cut, while reaffirming its financial goals—a shift that reassured markets despite the industrial setback. Airbus announced the revised target on Wednesday, citing ongoing production pressures across its supply chain. The European planemaker emphasized that despite the adjustment, its core profitability expectations for the year remain unchanged, prompting a positive reaction from investors as the company sought to stabilize confidence.
