Boeing delivered 63 airplanes in December, bringing the airplane manufacturer's 2025 total to 600 jets and giving it the busiest shipping year since 2018.
The company said Tuesday that it shipped 18 widebody jets and 45 737s in December, with the largest orders going to Vietjet Air, TUI, American, United and Southwest.
The company also reported 174 net orders for the month, after adjusting for cancellations and jets taken out of reserve. The largest buyer by far was Alaska Airlines, which announced last week that it would buy 105 737 MAX jets and five 787 Dreamliners.
In total, Boeing received orders for 140 737s and 35 widebody jets.
The company said its total backlog now stands at 6,130 planes.
Boeing still trailed its European rival Airbus, which said it shipped 793 jets during the year. Airbus' data indicate it delivered 136 planes in December.
