Boeing Delivers 280 Jets in 1H25, Up 60% From 2024

Boeing saw a sharp increase in production during the first half of 2025, delivering 280 aircraft—up 60% from 175 in the same period of 2024. This surge coincides with a recent US-Indonesia agreement, announced by President Donald Trump, which includes the purchase of 50 Boeing planes.

Trump described the deal as a historic opening of the Indonesian market to US products. Alongside the aircraft purchase, Indonesia committed to acquiring US$15 billion in energy products and US$4.5 billion in agricultural goods from the United States. Many of the aircraft in the order are Boeing 777s.

In the first six months of 2025, Boeing delivered 209 737 models, including three converted for maritime patrol as P-8 aircraft. Production currently runs at 38 units per month, capped by the (FAA) following the Alaska Airlines door incident in January 2024. Boeing expects a year-end FAA review that could raise the limit to 47 per month.

Production of the Boeing 787 also expanded, with 37 units delivered in the first half of 2025, compared to 22 in the same period last year. Quarterly production rates nearly doubled to eight 787s per month. Deliveries included shipments to China, which resumed accepting planes after a pause due to trade tensions.

June 2025 marked Boeing’s best monthly delivery total since the Alaska Airlines incident, with 60 aircraft handed over—a 27% increase year-over-year. Of these, eight went to China, including five 737s, two 777s, and one 787, following a trade exemption negotiated in May.

Boeing’s order book remains strong. In June alone, the company secured 54 737 orders and 62 for the 787, including a major order of 32 787s from British Airways. This followed a record May, fueled by large orders from Middle Eastern carriers Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways, pushing Boeing’s monthly order volume to the sixth highest ever.
