Boeing Delivers 175 Jets by April, Surpasses 2024 Pace

Boeing has announced updated orders and deliveries data, revealing that it has already surpassed half of its total aircraft deliveries from 2024 within the first four months of 2025. As of April 30, the manufacturer had delivered 175 aircraft to 45 customers, signaling a stronger performance compared to a difficult previous year.

The company delivered just 348 aircraft throughout 2024, a year plagued by major disruptions. Boeing’s troubles began in January 2024 when a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 detached shortly after takeoff, triggering a wave of safety investigations, production limits, and aircraft groundings. These issues led to intense regulatory scrutiny and a significant slowdown in deliveries.

Further compounding the crisis, a seven-week machinist strike involving 33,000 workers broke out in September 2024, halting production. Boeing later implemented a one-month pause to stabilize operations and ensure safe manufacturing processes before resuming activity.

Despite these setbacks, April 2025 marked a modest recovery. Boeing delivered 45 aircraft that month, slightly up from the 41 delivered in March 2025. Among the deliveries in April were 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, which went to several key customers including Air India, Ryanair, American Airlines, and Akasa Air.

The company also delivered eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with American Airlines and EVA Air each receiving two 787-9s. In addition, Germany received a P-8 Poseidon, a military maritime patrol aircraft based on the 737 Next Generation platform.

In terms of new business, Boeing reported an order for eight 737 MAX jets from an undisclosed customer, suggesting continued demand for its flagship narrowbody aircraft despite recent challenges.

While Boeing’s long-term recovery will depend on rebuilding trust and meeting production targets, the delivery figures from early 2025 indicate a step in the right direction. With a total of 175 aircraft delivered by April, the company has already exceeded 50 percent of its 2024 full-year total, signaling cautious optimism for the months ahead.
