Boeing resumes delivery of 60 jets, including eight to China in June.

Boeing announced Tuesday that they delivered 60 aircraft in June. This is a 27% rise compared to the same period last year. Eight of these airplanes were delivered to Chinese customers, the first since the end of a trade dispute between the two countries.

Beijing banned the delivery of Boeing aircrafts in April, when a dispute over tariffs escalated between two of the world's largest economies. But in May, Beijing lifted the ban after the two countries agreed on a temporary reduction in tariffs.

Wall Street closely tracks aircraft deliveries because the planemakers receive a large portion of their payments when they deliver jets to customers.

Boeing is trying to recover after years of production problems.

Setbacks and crises

It is vital to increase deliveries in order to stabilize its finances.

Boeing delivered 42 737 MAX jets, nine 787s and four 777 Freighters. Three of the 767s will be converted by Boeing's Defense Division into KC-46 aerial refueling tanks. Southwest Airlines has taken delivery of 10 737 MAX planes.

Five of the 737 MAX aircraft were delivered to Chinese airlines. Boeing delivered three more jets to Chinese clients, including two 787s and a 777 freighter.

The company has delivered 45 jets in June 2024, and 44 the month before.

Boeing delivered 280 aircraft in the first half 2025. This included 206 737 MAX, 37 787s (including 14 767s), 20 777s, and three older 737 models that will be converted into P-8 Poseidons - a naval reconnaissance plane.

Boeing received 116 new gross orders in June. This included 54 737 MAXs and 62 787-8s. Alaska Airlines purchased 12 737s and British Airways bought 32 787s.

Singapore Airlines cancelled three 737 MAX orders in June.

Boeing data shows that June's orders were down from May's, when Boeing had its sixth highest monthly order total in history.

The planemaker booked 668 net orders in the first half of this year.

Cirium, a consultancy for aviation analytics, reports that Airbus, the European competitor, delivered 60 aircraft to its customers in June. Seven of them were widebody aircraft, including three A330s and 4 A350s. Fourty-one of the A320s and A321s were single-aisle jets, which compete with Boeing's 787. Twelve were regional A220 jets.
