Boeing records strongest October order book while deliveries fall 14% and trims 5% of Commercial Airplanes staff
In October, Boeing delivered 49 commercial aircraft, a 14% month‑over‑month decline, but booked 165 net orders – the highest for the month since 1997. The bulk of the orders came from Avolon’s 140‑plane 737 MAX purchase. Boeing also announced a 5% reduction in its Commercial Airplanes workforce and pushed its target of 47 737 MAX jets per month to early 2027.
Why it matters
The delivery drop may pressure near‑term revenue, while the record order flow bolsters the backlog. The staff cut and delayed production timeline extend the timeline for free‑cash‑flow recovery, which investors watch closely.
