Overview

  • Qatar Airways finalized Boeing's largest-ever aircraft order, purchasing up to 210 jets, including 130 Dreamliners and 30 777-9s, with options for 50 more.
  • Boeing also landed significant orders from Saudi Arabia's AviLease for 30 737-8 jets and IAG, British Airways' parent company, for 32 787-10 planes.
  • Following a temporary 90-day tariff truce, China has resumed accepting Boeing jet deliveries, reversing an April ban linked to trade tensions.
  • Analysts predict Boeing could emerge as a major beneficiary in any long-term U.S.-China trade agreement, given China's urgent need for aircraft capacity.
  • The deals highlight Boeing's resurgence after years of setbacks, driven by shifting trade policies and strong demand from Gulf and global carriers.
