Boeing October Jet Deliveries Decline, Trail Airbus Tally

03:37 PM EST, 11/10/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing's (BA) jet deliveries dropped sequentially and annually in October, with the monthly count lagging European rival Airbus' tally. The US plane maker delivered 49 aircraft last month, compared with 57 in September and 53 in October last year, data on its website showed. Last month's tally, which includes 32 737 Max jets, brought the company's total deliveries from January to October to 524, compared with 493 in the same period last year. Airbus reported 74 deliveries in October, bringing its year-to-date tally to 621. Boeing booked 165 orders last month, including for 140 737-10 jets placed by lessor Avolon Aerospace Leasing. That marks the strongest October for orders minus cancellations since 1997, according to a Reuters report. Airbus reported 202 gross orders for October. Shares of Boeing were up 0.8% in Tuesday afternoon trading. The stock has slumped 20% this year. Last month, Boeing Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg highlighted the company's recent milestones, including the US Federal Aviation Administration certification of the 737-7 and 737-10 aircraft and Boeing's selection to design and build the US Navy's sixth-generation fighter aircraft. Boeing's third-quarter financial results released in late October showed its loss narrowed less than projected as revenue in its commercial airplanes division unexpectedly declined amid a less favorable aircraft delivery mix and higher production and supply-chain costs. The company's commercial airplanes division plans to eliminate 5% of its workforce as it struggles to increase jet production, Reuters reported Monday, citing an internal memo from division chief Stephanie Pope.
