Boeing outsold Airbus in new aircraft orders in 2025 for the first time since 2018, signaling a continued recovery. The U.S. planemaker logged 1,173 net orders, while Airbus recorded 889, though Airbus still delivered more aircraft overall.
Boeing delivered 63 planes in December, bringing total 2025 deliveries to 600, its highest level in seven years. Most deliveries were 737 Max jets. Airbus handed over 793 aircraft during the year, still ahead of Boeing but below its 2019 peak.
Supply-chain constraints, including engine shortages, continue to limit deliveries across the industry. Airlines are placing orders far in advance to secure production slots, highlighted by large recent orders from Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines. Boeing will provide further updates on production when it reports earnings on Jan. 27.
