"Boeing's quarterly win isn't necessarily a sign it has regained air supremacy. The company last month warned production of the 737 will slow while it sorts out wiring issues."
"Airbus, meanwhile, is in a funk because its key engine supplier Pratt & Whitney is busy fixing around 1,200 engines that contain a manufacturing flaw."
"Boeing built 114 737s, six 767s, eight 777s and 15 787s, while Airbus delivered 19 of its A-220 regional jets, 81 A320s, three A330s and eight A350s."
Boeing has surpassed Airbus in commercial plane deliveries for the first time in seven years, shipping 143 planes compared to Airbus's 114 in the first quarter of 2026. Boeing's deliveries had previously declined due to the 737 Max crisis, which resulted in a halt of production and significant financial settlements. Despite this quarterly win, Boeing faces production slowdowns due to wiring issues, while Airbus is hindered by engine supply problems from Pratt & Whitney, affecting its ability to deliver aircraft.
