In 2025, Boeing delivered a total of 600 commercial aircraft, marking its busiest shipping year since 2018 and a 72% increase from the 348 units delivered in 2024. Fourth-quarter deliveries accounted for 160 planes, led by 117 units of the 737 family, 27 Dreamliners, six 777s and ten 767s. On the defense side, Boeing’s Defense, Space & Security division recorded 37 aircraft deliveries in the quarter—including 19 AH-64 Apaches (five new-build and 14 remanufactured), three CH-47 Chinooks (two new and one renewed), nine F-15 and 14 F/A-18 fighters, 14 KC-46 tankers, nine MH-139s and six P-8 maritime patrol aircraft—bringing its full-year total to 131.

Boeing is ramping 737 MAX production toward a target of 84 units per month, with 97% of that rate already sold out, underscoring robust demand and disciplined order fulfillment. In 2025, lessors placed nearly 1,300 orders for 737 MAX jets, representing roughly one-fifth of the existing backlog. A landmark 145-aircraft order from Alaska Airlines boosted the MAX 10 backlog by 8.1%, while a separate commitment from Aviation Capital Group for 50 MAX aircraft further solidified the program’s near-term visibility.

For the first time since 2018, Boeing logged 1,173 net commercial orders in 2025, surpassing Airbus’s 889 net orders and signaling renewed customer confidence. Significant widebody commitments include Delta Air Lines’ first direct order for 30 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners (with options for 30 more), set for delivery starting in the early 2030s, and other airlines securing long-lead slots to replace aging fleets. These orders, combined with growing demand for premium long-haul travel, reinforce Boeing’s competitive position and underpin projections for sustained output growth through the end of the decade.
