A new lease of life for Boeing
February 2025, Boeing delivered an impressive total of 44 aircraft, demonstrating once again the American aircraft manufacturer's ability to bounce back from a period of economic and industrial turbulence. Of these deliveries, 32 were of the highly coveted 737 MAXa model that continues to win over airlines worldwide with its efficiency and performance.
This performance marks the second consecutive month that Boeing has outperformed its European rival Airbusa feat that had eluded the company for much of the preceding years. After a year 2024 marked by industrial challenges, these new deliveries strengthen Boeing's position in the global aeronautics market.
Production on the rise
Boeing's figures for February show a spectacular increase of 63% over the same period last year, when just 27 aircraft were delivered. This sharp increase is proof of the company's efforts to stabilize production and possibly increase it in the near future.
Indeed, Boeing has stepped up its efforts to meet the growing demand of the aerospace market. This strategy, based on optimizing production, puts the company in an advantageous position, particularly in the face of Airbus, which is trying to maintain its own delivery rate.
Riyadh Air and Uzbekistan Airways on board the Boeing Dreamliner
The delivery of the new aircraft is also part of strategic initiatives by Boeingwith companies such as Riyadh Airwhich recently completed its maiden flight aboard a Boeing 787-9. This acquisition was completed by the purchase of an advanced simulator for the DreamlinerThis is a major step forward in Boeing's collaboration with major international airlines.
