Boeing’s deliveries increase 63% in February
In an effort to stabilize and increase production of its flagship models, Boeing delivered 44 aircraft in February, a 63% increase compared to the 27 delivered in the same month last year. This significant growth aligns with the U.S. manufacturer’s strategy to strengthen its market presence and regain momentum following the challenges of recent years.
Steady Growth in Deliveries
Boeing’s performance in February was slightly below that of January, when the company achieved 45 deliveries, the highest monthly figure since 2023. However, the upward trend reflects solid progress in aircraft production and delivery.
Among the aircraft delivered in February, 32 were 737 MAX models, Boeing’s best-selling single-aisle aircraft, and five were from the wide-body 787 family. The importance of these deliveries lies in the fact that aircraft manufacturers receive the majority of payment when customers take possession of the aircraft, making this a key metric for investors and financial analysts.

Orders and Cancellations in February
In terms of new orders, Boeing recorded 13 gross orders in February, all for the 737 MAX. However, the company also faced eight cancellations, resulting in a net total of five orders for the month.
One of the most notable agreements was with Singapore-based leasing company BOC Aviation, which ordered five 737 MAX aircraft. These planes will be leased to Dominican airline Arajet, which, in turn, canceled its own order for five units of the same model.
On the other hand, Florida-based cargo airline Western Global Airlines canceled two orders for 777F aircraft, contributing to Boeing’s total cancellations for the month.
Comparison with Airbus
In the first two months of 2025, Boeing has recorded 41 net orders, while its main competitor, Airbus, achieved 65 in the same period. In terms of deliveries, the U.S. manufacturer completed 89, compared to Airbus’s 65.
This difference highlights the ongoing competition between the two aviation giants and the need for Boeing to continue strengthening its production and sales strategies to close the gap with the European manufacturer.
