Boeing reported 143 commercial aircraft deliveries in the first quarter of 2026, marking a strong start to the year and surpassing rival Airbus, which delivered 114 aircraft during the same period.
The majority of Boeing’s deliveries were driven by the popular Boeing 737 program, which accounted for 114 aircraft. Additional deliveries included 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, 8 Boeing 777 aircraft, and 6 Boeing 767 freighters and passenger jets.
The figures highlight continued demand for Boeing’s narrowbody aircraft, particularly the 737, while widebody deliveries remain steady across long-haul and cargo segments.
Defense and Space Deliveries
Beyond commercial aviation, Boeing also reported deliveries across its Defense, Space & Security segment. The company delivered 30 units during the quarter, including Apache and Chinook helicopters, F-15 and F/A-18 fighter jets, four KC-46 aerial refueling tankers, and one satellite.
These deliveries reflect sustained activity across Boeing’s military and government programs, which continue to serve as a key pillar of the company’s overall operations.
Production Remains Steady
The first-quarter figures indicate stable production levels across both commercial and defense segments. However, Boeing noted that final numbers remain subject to confirmation in the company’s upcoming quarterly financial results.
