Overview

  • Boeing handed over 48 jets in July, down 20% from June yet marking its strongest July since 2017 and up five year-over-year.
  • Airbus delivered 67 aircraft in July, lifting its year-to-date tally to 373 compared with Boeing’s 328 and preserving its market lead.
  • Boeing’s July mix comprised 37 737 MAX jets, eight 787s, two 777 freighters and one 767 freighter.
  • Boeing booked 31 gross orders in July—30 for 737 MAX jets and one for a 787—and held a 5,968-aircraft backlog under U.S. accounting standards.
  • Delays at CFM International and Pratt & Whitney have left about 60 Airbus jets awaiting engines, threatening its capacity to hit an 820-jet year-end target.
