U.S.-based aircraft manufacturer Boeing has released its order and delivery figures for October 2026. The company’s commercial aircraft deliveries fell by 14%, declining from 57 aircraft in September to 49 in October. Deliveries were also below the 53 aircraft recorded during the same month last year.
Boeing received 165 new commercial aircraft orders in October, with no cancellations recorded. This marked the company’s highest number of net orders for October since 1997. Of these orders, 140 were for Boeing 737 MAX aircraft placed by aircraft leasing company Avolon, while 15 orders were recorded for Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Boeing’s gross orders reached 828 aircraft during the first ten months of the year.
In terms of deliveries, Boeing handed over 32 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, 11 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, two Boeing 777 freighters and three Boeing 767 aircraft in October. Deliveries of the 737 MAX declined from 43 aircraft in September to 32 in October.
Between January and October 2026, Boeing delivered a total of 524 commercial aircraft, while its European rival Airbus delivered 621 aircraft during the same period.
As Boeing continues efforts to increase production capacity, supply chain challenges and manufacturing constraints remain factors affecting its delivery performance.
