Overview
- Boeing, which reported Tuesday, logged 173 deliveries in the first quarter of 2026 across 143 commercial jets and 30 defense items.
- Commercial output included 114 737s, 15 787 Dreamliners, eight 777s, and six 767s, with the 737 volume seen as a sign of a more stable narrow‑body line.
- Defense, Space & Security tallied 30 deliveries that featured AH‑64 Apaches, KC‑46 tankers, and a civil satellite, with 15 of 17 Apaches delivered as remanufactured airframes.
- March deliveries slowed to 46 after engineers reworked wiring on about 25 737 MAX jets, and CFO Jay Malave said roughly 10 of those handovers moved into the second quarter to ensure proper routing of harnesses that could otherwise cause electrical faults.
- Industry watchers noted Boeing’s quarter topped Airbus’s commercial tally by 29 jets, a gap linked in part to engine supply strains on the A320neo family reported earlier this month.
