Boeing’s October data, posted today, shows 49 deliveries and 165 gross orders, with no cancellations. Here’s our assessment of the month’s business. Where we can identify the MAX models in orders, we’ve done so.

The Month
Deliveries fell 14% from September and about 8% from October 2025, per our math. There were no cancellations in October 2026. The wire copy called it Boeing’s strongest October for orders minus cancellations since 1997.
CEO Kelly Ortberg said in September that stabilizing the 737 MAX line is taking “a little bit longer” than expected. October did not make that look wrong.
Behind the break: how much of October’s orders is one lessor. What the 737 line did against its 47-a-month target. Who bought the 787s. What November and December require.
