Boeing tops 2025 orders while Airbus chases deliveries; supply‑chain and COMAC ramping strain production targets 2025 closed with contrasting OEM performance: Boeing outsold Airbus on aircraft orders for the first time since 2018, while Airbus pushed to boost deliveries. Persistent European supply‑chain volatility threatens Airbus’s 2027 goal of 75 A320s/month, and COMAC’s troubled ramp underscores wider manufacturing stresses.

NTSB: Boeing flagged MD‑11 pylon bearing flaw in 2011 service bulletin before UPS engine separation The NTSB says fractures in an MD‑11 pylon‑mount spherical bearing — the part that failed on a UPS freighter whose engine separated during takeoff — match a flaw Boeing warned operators about in a 2011 service bulletin. Investigators say similar fractures occurred at least four other times before the crash.
