Boeing reported that it delivered 53 commercial aircraft in October 2025, bringing its annual total to 493 units. This figure positions the American manufacturer on track to achieve its highest delivery volume since 2018, the year it delivered 806 aircraft.
Of the October total, 39 were 737 MAX models, its best-selling aircraft. Key customers include Southwest Airlines, which received nine units, and the low-cost carrier Ryanair, with five. Additionally, one 737 Next Generation aircraft was delivered, which will be converted into a P-8 maritime patrol aircraft for the U.S. Navy.
In the wide-body segment, Boeing delivered 13 aircraft: seven 787 Dreamliners, two 777 freighters, and four 767 models.
Increasing Production and Focus on Quality
The company recently received approval from the FAA to increase 737 production from 38 to 42 units per month. This progress is part of CEO Kelly Ortberg’s strategy, who has emphasized improving production quality in the commercial airplanes division throughout 2025.

Orders and Backlog: Mixed Figures in October
Regarding new orders, Boeing registered 15 new orders in October: eight for the 737 and seven for the 787. However, cancellations for seven 737 orders were also reported, resulting in a net total of eight new orders for the month.
Despite this, the cumulative performance for the year remains robust. Through October, Boeing has received 782 net new orders, after adjustments for cancellations and conversions. The total order backlog now stands at 5,911 aircraft.
787 Dreamliner Continues Gaining Ground
The 787 Dreamliner remains a key piece in Boeing’s commercial strategy. So far this year, the company has received 320 orders for this model, the second-highest figure in its history, only surpassed by the 369 orders recorded in 2007.
As part of its commitment to this program, Boeing is expanding its production facilities in South Carolina, where the 787 is assembled. Furthermore, last week, two Central Asian airlines announced plans to acquire more units of this model.
Despite the strong delivery pace, Boeing still trails its European competitor Airbus, which has delivered 585 aircraft in the first ten months of the year.
This performance reaffirms Boeing’s commitment to recovering its leadership in the aeronautical industry, after years marked by safety crises, production problems, and the impact of the pandemic.
