Boeing delivered 160 commercial aircraft in the third quarter of 2025, led by a continued ramp-up in 737 deliveries, which totalled 121 for the quarter.
The company’s total deliveries for the year to date now stand at 440 aircraft, as it works to stabilise production across its major aircraft types, following years of supply chain challenges and regulatory scrutiny.
The Q3 results include:
Commercial Airplane Programmes | 3rd Quarter | Year-to-Date |
737 | 121 | 330 |
767 | 6 | 20 |
777 | 9 | 29 |
787 | 24 | 61 |
Total | 160 | 440 |
Year-to-date, Boeing has handed over 330 units of the single-aisle jet.
Boeing's efforts to recover 737 production rates have been a key focus for the company, following the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 incident in January 2024, when a mid-cabin door plug blew out mid-flight.
In the wake of the incident, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed a monthly production cap on the 737 MAX, alongside increased onsite inspections.
The cap is currently set at 38 units per month, but Boeing is expecting this to be raised to 42 units per month in this year's fourth quarter. Boeing said it was aiming to stabilise production of the 737 MAX before securing a cap lift.
Deliveries of the widebody 787 Dreamliner also posted a strong performance, with 34 jets handed over in Q3 — a continued sign of progress after multiple production halts in prior years.
Boeing has now delivered 61 Dreamliners in 2025, positioning it to meet or exceed its full-year target of 75-80 deliveries.
While Boeing still trails rival Airbus in total deliveries, these latest figures suggest a measure of operational progress, especially in the narrowbody segment.
All eyes will now turn to Boeing's upcoming Q3 earnings report, scheduled to be released on October 29, for a clearer look at the company’s financial performance, guidance and long-term recovery plans.
