Boeing delivered more planes than its European rival Airbus in a quarter for the first time since 2023, helping the US aerospace group to a 14 per cent rise in revenues for the first three months of the year.
The aircraft maker on Wednesday reported first-quarter revenues of $22.2bn, up from $19.5bn over the same period last year, as it continues to make progress in its lengthy turnaround campaign. A $7mn loss for the quarter compares with a $31mn first-quarter loss last year, beating analysts’ estimates.
Boeing delivered 143 commercial aircraft to customers in the first three months of this year, up 10 per cent on 2025. It shipped 29 more jets than Airbus, its widest lead since 2018, as its rival struggled with supply-chain bottlenecks, particularly engine shortages.
