Market Performance for 2025

Airbus leads the 2025 delivery race with 307 aircraft, outpacing Boeing’s 280 by 27 units. June’s 63 deliveries for Airbus versus Boeing’s 60 reinforce this trend.

The demand for efficient, single-aisle aircraft like the A321-200NX and B737-8 reflects strong market needs, particularly among major operators like Southwest Airlines (WN) and JetSMART Airlines (JA).

This performance suggests Airbus maintains a slight edge, driven by variant diversity and operator distribution. Boeing’s reliance on the B737-8 indicates a strategic focus, though its total lags behind Airbus’s broader output.
