Such a move could completely transform how automation integrates within the evolving tech ecosystem.
Boeing Co reported a significant increase in commercial and defense aircraft deliveries in the first quarter of 2025. The announcement has been interpreted as a positive signal by investors and industry analysts, highlighting the company's recovery in production rates and strengthening market position. Boeing shares rose by 3.7% following the release of the report.
In March 2025, Boeing delivered 41 aircraft—up from 29 units in the same month of 2024. Although slightly down from January (45 aircraft) and February (44), the total number of deliveries for the quarter indicates steady progress.
During the first three months of the year, Boeing delivered 130 aircraft, including:
104 units of the 737 MAX — the company’s flagship narrow-body aircraft;
5 units of the 767;
7 units of the 777;
13 units of the 787 Dreamliner.
Compared to the first quarter of 2024, when the company delivered just 83 aircraft (66 of which were 737 MAX), this year’s results mark a clear improvement in operational momentum.
The rise in deliveries comes after years of turbulence for Boeing, including:
A prolonged global grounding of the 737 MAX following two fatal crashes;
Production and certification challenges related to the 787 Dreamliner;
Increased regulatory scrutiny and pressure to strengthen quality control.
The current results indicate that Boeing is gradually emerging from its recent setbacks and regaining the ability to ramp up production.
Alongside the growth in commercial aircraft, Boeing reported delivery figures for its Defense, Space & Security division. In the first quarter of 2025, the company delivered 26 military aircraft, including:
AH-64 Apache helicopters (new and upgraded variants);
CH-47 Chinook helicopters;
F-15 and F/A-18 fighter jets;
Other defense aircraft under existing programs.
These figures reflect stable demand for defense products and the company’s ongoing participation in key government contracts.
Boeing is expected to release its full financial results for the first quarter on April 23. While detailed figures have not yet been disclosed, the delivery data provides an early look into the company’s performance. Aircraft deliveries are often viewed as a leading indicator of revenue generation and operational health.
The market responded positively to the report, with Boeing shares climbing 3.7%. The increase in deliveries is seen as a sign of recovery and improving production stability. It also suggests progress in reducing the inventory backlog that accumulated during the 737 MAX grounding period.
The Q1 2025 delivery report reinforces the notion that Boeing is on a recovery path. The growth in both commercial and defense aircraft deliveries signals improved production capabilities and a gradual overcoming of past challenges. The upcoming earnings report on April 23 will offer further insight into the company’s financial position, but the latest data already points to a company steadily rebuilding its global presence.
