Boeing Delivered 60 Jets in May, Booked 22 Net Orders

Boeing's May performance signals sustained demand as the company delivered 60 jets and booked 22 net orders, reflecting a resilient production cadence into the summer. Deliveries comprised 51 737 Max jets and six 787 Dreamliners, illustrating a balanced mix of narrow- and wide-body aircraft underpinning the current backlog. The company also booked 17 new orders for the 737 Max and 10 for the 787 family, signaling continued interest across its core programs from a diversified customer base. Customers receiving jets in May included Southwest Airlines, SMBC Leasing, and Virgin Australia, underscoring the breadth of Boeing's commercial footprint across airlines and lease portfolios. Year-to-date deliveries total 250 planes, with nearly 200 of them 737 Max models, underscoring the Max's central role in Boeing's backlog and the health of its narrow-body pipeline. Through May, Boeing booked 295 orders after cancellations, the second-highest first-five-month tally on record, trailing last year's 512. Taken together, May's results and the year-to-date totals demonstrate robust demand across core programs and reflect Boeing's ability to move a large backlog toward production. The numbers emphasize a resilient market for both narrow- and wide-body jets as operators pursue capacity and efficiency gains in a competitive aviation landscape.
