2024 has concluded with a notable disparity in aircraft deliveries between Boeing and Airbus. The European manufacturer, Airbus, delivered 643 aircraft by the end of November 2024, surpassing its 2023 total of 623. In contrast, Boeing's deliveries fell to 318 from 461 in the previous year.

Boeing faced several challenges throughout the year. A significant event was the departure of CEO Dave Calhoun, who remains on the board. Additionally, safety concerns arose early in the year when a plug door incident occurred on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX over Portland.

Flightplan's report highlights that Boeing delivered fewer aircraft than in both 2023 and 2022 when it had delivered 528 units. The final quarter of 2024 was particularly difficult due to a strike by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which involved over 33,000 employees and lasted seven weeks.

Airbus experienced a surge in deliveries in November within Europe, delivering 84 units compared to Boeing's 13. This increase contributed to Airbus maintaining its lead over Boeing for five consecutive years.

The delivery numbers for recent years are as follows:

- In 2022: Boeing delivered 480 aircraft while Airbus delivered 663.

- In 2023: Boeing increased to 528 while Airbus reached 735.

- By November end of 2024: Boeing delivered only 318 compared to Airbus' total of 643.

Both companies faced challenges meeting their delivery targets for the year. Airbus aimed for a target of delivering around 770 aircraft but had not yet achieved this by October's end despite delivering more jets than anticipated that month.

Looking ahead to 2025, Boeing plans to increase production rates for its popular wide-body aircraft, aiming for five per month initially and potentially reaching ten by late next year or into early next decade. Meanwhile, Airbus is working on improving supply chain issues and increasing A320 production rates significantly over coming years; additionally hoping boost output levels new models such as A321XLR which Iberia launched during last quarter past twelve months.
