Boeing delivers 60 aircraft in May, led by 51 737 MAX handovers as production recovery continues

Boeing says it delivered 60 jets in May, up 33% versus the same month last year, though deliveries trailed Airbus’s 81. The May mix included 51 737 MAX aircraft—its highest monthly total since production restarted in December 2024 after a strike. Customers cancelled 16 jets, leaving net orders of 22.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Confirms whether Boeing’s post-strike 737 MAX ramp is translating into sustained output: 60 deliveries in May (51 MAX) mark the highest monthly MAX handovers since the December 2024 restart.
  • Despite stronger deliveries, the commercial “throughput” signal is mixed—16 cancellations left net orders at 22—so executives get a real-time read on demand and order-book health.
  • Useful for planning across the 737 MAX ecosystem and downstream capacity (airlines, lessors, MRO), building on the latest delivery cadence context in prior reporting like Boeing explores hiking 737 production beyond the peak 63-jets/month level.
