U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing is performing better than its French rival Airbus in the first quarter of 2023. In this tight competition, Boeing benefited from a strong March, while Airbus made fewer deliveries than the previous year.
Boeing overtakes Airbus! The U.S. aircraft manufacturer announced Tuesday that it had made 130 aircraft deliveries in the first quarter of 2023. The day before, Airbus had announced the delivery of 127 aircraft in the first quarter, a decline of 9% compared to the previous year. The decline is attributed to ongoing supply chain problems.
Boeing’s deliveries, on the other hand, were up nearly 27% from the previous year, when it delivered 95 aircraft. With the return of its flagship 737 and 787 models, the U.S. manufacturer delivered 64 airplanes in March, 36% more than the 41 airplanes transferred to customers in the same month in 2022. The 737 Max accounted for 52 of these deliveries, with United Airlines and Southwest Airlines each having already acquired 12 planes of this model.
For the year 2023, Boeing has set a goal of delivering four hundred 737 Max and seventy 787s. The company has already delivered 113 737 Max aircraft, but will have to pick up the pace for the 787s, of which it has yet to deliver 11.
In March, the company booked gross orders for 60 aircraft, including forty Max and twenty 787s. This was offset by order cancellations for sixteen Maxes and six 787s, for a total of 38 net orders.
Strong recovery
Boeing deliveries have picked up again after a complicated start to the year. Indeed, the first two months were sluggish, partly due to the halt in 787 Dreamliner deliveries ordered in February by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The U.S. government agency wanted to perform additional testing on a component of the 787 Dreamliner’s fuselage.
After receiving FAA approval to resume deliveries in mid-March, the company transferred seven Dreamliners to customers last month. Other deliveries include a P-8 Poseidon aircraft, a 767 freighter and three 777s.
Airbus lags behind
Toulouse-based Airbus announced Tuesday that it delivered 127 aircraft in the first quarter, including 61 last month. Quarterly deliveries were down 9% from an adjusted total of 140 a year earlier, Reuters reported on April 7.
Boeing and Airbus have been competing for years, with similar delivery levels in the last two months. Each delivered a total of 66 aircraft to customers in January and February.
For the year, Airbus, which is facing strong demand, is aiming to deliver 720 aircraft. Guillaume Faury, Airbus’ chief executive, said last week that the French manufacturer plans to increase production in China from four planes a month to six later this year, and then eight by 2024. The company has also adapted its Tianjin plant to build the A321.
