Boeing surpassed Airbus in annual commercial aircraft orders for the first time since 2018, securing 1,173 orders in 2025 compared to Airbus's 889. This marks a significant recovery for Boeing following quality control issues and FAA scrutiny after the Alaska Airlines incident in early 2025. Despite the order success, Boeing's deliveries of 600 aircraft trailed Airbus's 793, continuing a trend from previous years.
