Airbus Delivered 63 Aircraft While Boeing Delivered 60 in June 2025

Airbus Surpasses Boeing in June 2025 Deliveries Amid Industry Challenges
In June 2025, Airbus delivered 63 commercial aircraft, narrowly outpacing Boeing’s 60 deliveries for the month. This close margin underscores the competitive yet challenging landscape both manufacturers face, as supply chain disruptions and ongoing trade tensions continue to impede production rates across the aviation sector.
Boeing’s Performance and Challenges
Boeing’s 60 deliveries in June represent its highest monthly total since late 2023, prior to the widely publicized door plug incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 in January 2024. The company has been under intense scrutiny, particularly following the tragic crash of Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which claimed 241 lives. These events contributed to Boeing’s subdued presence at the 2025 Paris Air Show, where Airbus capitalized on the opportunity to secure new orders.
The June deliveries from Boeing included 42 737 Max aircraft, six 787-9s, and three 787-10s. Despite ongoing tariff tensions between the United States and China, Boeing managed to deliver five aircraft to Chinese airlines. Southwest Airlines was a significant recipient, receiving ten of Boeing’s June deliveries. Overall, Boeing delivered 150 aircraft in the second quarter, bringing its year-to-date total to 280. The company also reported 116 new commercial aircraft orders in June and is scheduled to release detailed second-quarter financial results on June 29.
Airbus’s Strong Showing and Market Position
Airbus delivered 63 aircraft to 35 customers in June and reported gross orders totaling 203 for the month. The European manufacturer’s robust performance at the Paris Air Show, where it secured 142 firm orders compared to Boeing’s absence of new orders, highlighted its aggressive strategy to meet delivery targets despite persistent industry headwinds. By the end of June, Airbus had delivered 306 aircraft to 65 customers in 2025.
Industry analysts observe that although Airbus edged ahead of Boeing in June deliveries, both companies continue to fall short of market demand due to ongoing production challenges. The mixed market response reflects uncertainty about whether either manufacturer can fully restore production rates in the near term.
Broader Industry Context
Competition within the commercial aviation sector remains intense, with other manufacturers such as Embraer making notable advances. At the Paris Air Show, Embraer announced 60 firm orders, signaling increased activity among smaller players as Airbus and Boeing work to overcome their respective difficulties.
Despite the encouraging delivery figures for June, both Airbus and Boeing face sustained pressure to stabilize production and fulfill the requirements of a recovering global aviation market.
