SEATTLE, Washington: Boeing saw a significant increase in aircraft deliveries in February, reporting 44 planes delivered compared to 27 in the same month last year, a 63 percent rise.
The rise comes as the company works to stabilize and ramp up production of its 737 MAX and 787 models.
The latest figures were only slightly behind January's 45 deliveries, which marked Boeing's strongest month since 2023. February's deliveries included 32 of the popular 737 MAX single-aisle jets and five 787 widebody aircraft.
Investors closely monitor aircraft deliveries, as planemakers receive most of their payments upon handing over aircraft to customers.
Boeing also secured 13 new gross orders in February, all for 737 MAX jets. However, after accounting for eight cancellations, the company recorded a net total of five orders for the month.
Among the new orders, Singapore-based lessor BOC Aviation ordered five 737 MAX jets, which will be leased to Dominican Republic-based carrier Arajet. Arajet, in turn, canceled its own order for five MAX planes. Additionally, Florida-based cargo carrier Western Global Airlines scrapped orders for two 777 freighters.
Through the first two months of the year, Boeing recorded 41 net orders, trailing behind European rival Airbus, which secured 65 net orders over the same period.
