Boeing has announced its delivery figures for the first quarter of 2025, reporting that it delivered 130 commercial aircraft to its customers during this period. This includes 105 737 MAX, five 767F, seven 777F, and 13 787s, making it the highest number of deliveries in a quarter since 2023.

The company delivered more aircraft this quarter compared to any quarter in 2024, when it distributed 348 planes over the entire year. However, the Q1 2025 figures are still below the 157 aircraft delivered in Q4 2023. Boeing has scheduled its Q1 earnings call for April 23 to discuss these figures further.

Some of the deliveries in Q1 2025 consisted of inventory aircraft produced prior to 2024. By the end of 2024, Boeing had approximately 55 737 MAX 8 planes in inventory, with 40 intended for Chinese airlines. Additionally, it had about 25 inventoried 787s that needed rework, with plans to complete these in 2025. "The inspections and rework costs on inventoried aircraft are accounted for as abnormal production costs, and we expensed $256 million during the year ended December 31, 2024."

During the first quarter, Boeing delivered at least 28 aircraft built before 2023, including 15 to China-based airlines. Among these were 12 737 MAX 8s and three 787-9s, received by China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, and Juneyao Air.

Boeing continues to face challenges with business class seat delays, which adversely impacted deliveries in 2024 and are expected to affect 2025 as well. CEO Kelly Ortberg noted during a January earnings call that these issues stem from integrating monuments around the seats and in-flight entertainment certifications. "We are still challenged in getting through certification on some new type seats on 787. We got a plan on that. It is really a customer-by-customer basis."

While 2025 has seen a good start in deliveries, Fitch Ratings had earlier warned that the machinists' strike in 2024 might have downgraded Boeing's credit rating. However, Fitch now acknowledges Boeing's positive progress in 2025, citing improvements in operational execution, profitability, and balance sheet management.

Brian West, Boeing's Executive Vice President and CFO, downplayed concerns over aluminum and steel tariffs at a recent conference, citing that most of Boeing’s materials are sourced domestically. According to West, "the aircraft manufacturer does not see any material near-term implications."

Overall, while Boeing navigates its production challenges, it remains focused on meeting its delivery goals and mitigating any potential disruptions.
