Boeing delivered 60 aircraft in June, its best showing in 18 months, boosted by improvements in its factories and the resumption of US jet exports to China.
42 of the 737 Max models were handed over last month, the most since a crisis in early 2024; eight deliveries went to China following a reduction in tensions over tariffs.
Boeing delivered 150 aircraft in the second quarter and 280 commercial planes in the first six months of the year, with 668 gross jet orders recorded in the first half.
Airbus and Boeing had similar delivery numbers in June; Boeing's recent momentum contrasts Airbus's struggles with production targets due to issues like engine shortages.
