Boeing delivers 48 planes in July, down from 60 in June

According to Reuters, Boeing delivered 48 aircraft in July 2025, down from 60 in June but five more than in July 2024. This marks the company’s highest number of deliveries for the month since 2017, when it handed over 58 planes.

The majority of deliveries last month were 737 MAX jets, with 37 aircraft delivered. Of these, 20 went to aircraft lessors and 17 to airlines. Boeing also handed over eight 787 Dreamliners, two 777 freighters, and one 767 freighter. Aircraft deliveries are closely watched by investors, as planemakers receive much of their payment upon handover.

Boeing booked 31 gross orders in July, including 30 for 737 MAX jets and one for a 787. Iraq cancelled one 787 order, though it still retains seven on order. Year-to-date, Boeing has received 699 new orders, or 655 net orders after accounting for cancellations and conversions. Its order backlog now stands at 5,968 aircraft, reflecting strong underlying demand for the company’s products.

The company is continuing to stabilise production following a mid-air panel blowout on a new 737 MAX in January 2024, which exposed broader production quality and safety issues. Boeing has not provided annual delivery guidance for 2025, but the company is focused on meeting customer commitments while addressing quality and safety improvements across its production lines.

July deliveries illustrate that Boeing remains competitive despite ongoing challenges in supply chain management and production recovery. The steady flow of 737 MAX deliveries underlines the strong market demand for single-aisle jets, which account for a large proportion of global commercial aircraft traffic. Meanwhile, the long-term backlog and continued orders suggest that airlines remain confident in Boeing’s product range, including wide-body jets like the 787 and freighters such as the 777 and 767.
