Boeing Delivers 60 Aircraft in May 2026 Including 51 B737MAX

Global – Commercial aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus have reported their May delivery figures, with Boeing recording 60 deliveries for the month as it continued to work through a wiring defect issue that disrupted handovers earlier in the year.

• Boeing's May deliveries comprised 51 737 Max narrowbody jets and six 787 Dreamliner widebody aircraft, with the remaining three deliveries across other types.
• The May figure trailed Airbus, which delivered 81 aircraft during the same period.
• Boeing had identified damaged wiring in as many as 25 undelivered 737 Max aircraft in March, creating a near-term production bottleneck that contributed to suppressed delivery numbers in preceding months.
• On the order front, Boeing recorded 27 gross orders in May — 17 for the 737 family and 10 for the 787 — against 16 cancellations for the month.
• Boeing's net orders for the year to end of May, after cancellations, conversions, and adjustments, stood at 298, with cumulative year-to-date deliveries reaching 250 aircraft through the end of the month.
