Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) delivered 48 aircraft in July, down from the 60 handed over in June, but surpassing last year’s July total by five units — the company’s strongest July performance since 2017.
The month’s shipments included 37 of the 737 MAX model, with 20 going to leasing companies and 17 to airlines. Boeing also delivered eight 787 Dreamliners, along with two 777 freighters and one 767 freighter.
Despite the uptick from last year, Boeing remains behind European competitor Airbus in the 2025 delivery race. Airbus delivered 67 jets in July, pushing its year-to-date total to 373 aircraft, compared with Boeing’s 328. In the crucial single-aisle category, Airbus has shipped 286 A320neo family jets versus Boeing’s 243 737 MAX units.
On the orders front, Boeing logged 31 gross orders in July, consisting of 30 for the 737 MAX and one for the 787. Net orders rose to 63 after 33 aircraft were reinstated into the backlog from provisions for doubtful accounts. While Iraq canceled one 787 order, it still holds contracts for seven more.
So far in 2025, Boeing has delivered 328 jets and recorded 739 net orders, leaving it with an adjusted backlog of 5,968 aircraft.
The company continues efforts to stabilize production after a mid-air panel blowout on a 737 MAX in January 2024 brought quality and safety concerns to the forefront. Unlike Airbus, which has projected 820 deliveries for the year, Boeing has not issued an official forecast for 2025 output.
