After a dismal year, Boeing’s productivity has bounced back its deliveries to new heights with its best January yet.
According to AirInsight data, Boeing delivered 44 jets as of Jan. 31, nearly double its 25 deliveries from January 2024. The solid start puts Boeing at one-tenth of its delivery goal for 2025.
The company produced one 777-200F, four 787s, one BBJ, 30 MAX 8s, three MAX 8-200s and three MAX 9s in January. Boeing beat Airbus in total deliveries for the month by 19 jets. Airbus had out-delivered Boeing the year before by five aircraft.
COMAC and Embraer each delivered three aircraft in January 2025 – half of what they each delivered a year prior.
In January 2024, Boeing’s 737 production was capped at 38 aircraft per month by the Federal Aviation Administration following a door plug incident earlier that month. That cap is still in place today.
According to a recent Reuters report, newly appointed Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has said he would keep the production cap in place until he was satisfied with Boeing’s safety standards.
