Airbus and Boeing recorded strong aircraft delivery numbers in June 2025, with Airbus narrowly outperforming its US rival. Toulouse-based Airbus delivered 63 aircraft, three more than Boeing, which shipped 60 units from its Arlington headquarters.
Aircraft were dispatched globally to leading carriers such as JetSMART (JA) in Santiago (SCL), JetBlue Airways (B6) in New York (JFK), and Southwest Airlines (WN) in Dallas (DAL), among others.
The month’s performance highlights sustained demand across both manufacturers despite differing market strategies.
Airbus Vs Boeing: June 2025 Delivery
Airbus outperformed Boeing in June 2025, delivering 63 aircraft against Boeing’s 60, a difference of three units.
The year-to-date total stands at 307 for Airbus and 280 for Boeing, reflecting Airbus’s slight lead.
Monthly deliveries fluctuated, with Airbus peaking at 71 in March and Boeing hitting 63 in June, indicating seasonal variations in production and demand.
Key operators drove these numbers. For Airbus, JetSMART Airlines (JA), JetBlue Airways (B6), Air Canada (AC), China Eastern Airlines (MU), and Delta Air Lines (DL) each received three aircraft. Transavia France (TO) took two.

Aircraft Variant Analysis
The most delivered aircraft model in June was the Boeing 737-8 with 37 units, reinforcing Boeing’s emphasis on its best-selling narrowbody model. On the Airbus side, the A321-200NX led with 21 deliveries.
| Aircraft Variant | Manufacturer | Units Delivered | Aircraft Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| B737-8 | Boeing | 37 | Narrowbody |
| A321-200NX | Airbus | 21 | Narrowbody |
| A320-200N | Airbus | 20 | Narrowbody |
| A220-300 | Airbus | 12 | Narrowbody |
| B787-9 | Boeing | 6 | Widebody |
| A350-900 | Airbus | 5 | Widebody |
| B777-200F | Boeing | 4 | Freighter |
| B737-8-200 | Boeing | 3 | Narrowbody |
| B767-2C (KC-46A) | Boeing | 3 | Military Tanker |
| B787-10 | Boeing | 3 | Widebody |
| A321-200NY (XLR) | Airbus | 2 | Long-Range Narrowbody |
| A330-900N | Airbus | 2 | Widebody |
| B737-9 | Boeing | 2 | Narrowbody |
| B767-300F | Boeing | 1 | Freighter |
| A330-200 (MRTT) | Airbus | 1 | Military Tanker |
These figures indicate a strong global demand for narrowbody aircraft, though both manufacturers maintain moderate widebody and freighter output.
Market Performance for 2025
Airbus leads the 2025 delivery race with 307 aircraft, outpacing Boeing’s 280 by 27 units. June’s 63 deliveries for Airbus versus Boeing’s 60 reinforce this trend.
The demand for efficient, single-aisle aircraft like the A321-200NX and B737-8 reflects strong market needs, particularly among major operators like Southwest Airlines (WN) and JetSMART Airlines (JA).
This performance suggests Airbus maintains a slight edge, driven by variant diversity and operator distribution. Boeing’s reliance on the B737-8 indicates a strategic focus, though its total lags behind Airbus’s broader output.
