Boeing's deliveries through September rose 8% on the year, driven by the 737 family, though Airbus remains ahead with 547. A Turkish Airlines order for 100 737 MAX jets dominated Boeing's September bookings.

The FAA confirmed to Reuters that Boeing paid the maximum $3.1 million civil penalty over widespread production and safety violations back in January, but the payment went undisclosed until the agency revealed it this week. The violations trace to the same 737 MAX 9 door-plug blowout that grounded much of the fleet in January 2024.

Boeing delivered 53 jets in July against Airbus's 67, keeping Airbus ahead by 51 aircraft for the year so far.
