SEATTLE — Boeing recorded 135 net new orders in April, bringing its total for the first four months of 2026 to 284 after adjustments for cancellations and conversions. This marks the highest four-month order figure for the company since 2014.
April orders consisted of 57 737 MAX jets, 51 787s — mostly from unidentified customers — and 28 777X orders from undisclosed buyers. Boeing continues certification efforts on the delayed 777X.
Boeing delivered 47 jetliners in April, including 34 737 MAX and six 787s, up one from March. Through April, its delivery pace remains behind Airbus, which booked 405 net orders in the same period and delivered 67 aircraft last month alone.
The U.S. manufacturer trails its European rival in deliveries amid ongoing production challenges, though recent order momentum shows airline confidence returning. Boeing’s first-quarter deliveries reached 143 aircraft, surpassing Airbus’s 114 for that period.
