Boeing delivered 49 aircraft in October, a 14 percent month-on-month decline from the 57 handed over in September and below the 53 delivered in October 2025, according to company figures reported by Reuters.

The slowdown was driven by the 737 MAX, where deliveries fell to 32 aircraft from 43 in September. Boeing also delivered 11 787 Dreamliners, two 777 Freighters and three 767s during the month.

On orders, Boeing recorded its strongest October for net orders since 1997, with 165 new aircraft orders and no cancellations. Leasing firm Avolon accounted for 140 of those orders, all 737 MAX aircraft.

Boeing has delivered 524 aircraft in the first ten months of 2026, about 6 percent more than a year earlier but still trailing Airbus, which delivered 621 aircraft over the same period.
