Boeing Pulls Ahead as 2026 Delivery Race Heats Up

In early 2026, the commercial aerospace market saw a significant shift as Boeing outperformed Airbus in monthly deliveries for the first time in years. While Airbus concluded 2025 with 793 total deliveries compared to Boeing’s 600, January 2026 data shows Boeing taking a decisive early lead with 46 aircraft handed over to customers, more than doubling Airbus’s monthly output of 19.

Halfway through February, we can report that Boeing’s acceleration continues.
