Boeing tops Airbus in 2025 orders as US demand fuels rebound
Boeing outsold Airbus on gross orders in 2025 for the first time this decade, booking 1,075 gross orders (Airbus: 1,000) as countries rushed to buy US aircraft to curry favor with the Trump administration. Boeing delivered 600 commercial jets, while Airbus delivered 793, and the backlog climbed to about 6,130. The turnaround has been aided by FAA relief allowing Boeing to certify its own jets again and by the Spirit AeroSystems acquisition, with large orders from carriers like Alaska Airlines helping late-year momentum.
