Boeing Allegiant 737 MAX 1536x865 1
Like most people following this industry, we have been waiting for good news from Boeing. As we have said several times, it is in the interests of the aviation silo that the duopoly is stable. Nobody loses when the duopoly is stable, while everyone loses when it is not.
Boeing delivered two MAXs yesterday, making it three this week. As the table below for 2024 deliveries illustrates, Boeing is starting to deliver MAXs again. It has been a very tough year for Boeing. The market requirements for these aircraft are well documented by trade and news media. These new aircraft will help airlines lower fuel burn and reduce operating and maintenance costs. Older, more expensive aircraft can be retired. New deliveries are a win all around unless you run an MRO facility.
Boeing’s new CEO made a great suggestion. The company must lift itself and move forward. Truthfully, everyone in commercial aviation needs Boeing to succeed. There’s a lot of work to do, none of which is accomplished at the water cooler.
This is also an opportune moment to introduce a new model we update daily. From now on, you can monitor it on this page.
We track OEM first flights and deliveries. The programs we focus on are current Airbus, Boeing, COMAC, and Embraer models. Like all our data visualizations, we welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement. It is easier to absorb lots of data over time using an image. The charts must reflect reality and transmit useful information.
The model shown here is our free public version. Subscribers have access to a 21-page, much more detailed version.

I guess that’s better than nothing production wise. I wish a much better year, 2025 for Boeing. I always wonder if there is another serious issue down the road. That is their doing.
