Boeing July Deliveries Drop 20%, Airbus Extends Lead

Boeing delivered 48 aircraft in July, down 20% from 60 in June but five more than a year earlier. It was the company’s strongest July since 2017, when it delivered 58 jets.

Despite the year-over-year gain, Boeing continues to trail Airbus. The European planemaker delivered 67 aircraft in July—down from 77 last year—bringing its 2025 total to 373 compared to Boeing’s 328.

Airbus leads in single-aisle jet deliveries, with 286 A320neo family aircraft so far this year versus Boeing’s 243 737 MAX jets. Single-aisle models account for roughly two-thirds of all commercial jet deliveries.

In July, Boeing delivered 37 737 MAX jets, including 20 to lessors and 17 to airlines, along with eight 787s, two 777 freighters, and one 767 freighter. Airbus’ July deliveries included five A220s, 54 A320neos, two A330s, and six A350s.

Boeing recorded 31 gross orders in July—30 for 737 MAX jets and one for a 787—while the Republic of Iraq canceled one 787 order but still holds seven in its backlog. By the end of July, Boeing had received 699 new orders, or 655 net after cancellations, with a backlog of 5,968 aircraft.

Airbus, despite engine supply issues from CFM International and delays linked to a recent strike at Pratt & Whitney, still projects 820 deliveries for 2025, up 7% from last year. Boeing has not issued a delivery forecast as it works to stabilize production following a January 2024 737 MAX panel blowout that exposed quality and safety concerns.
