Boeing delivered 348 airplanes to customers last year, a 34% dip from 2023. That’s less than half the 766 planes rival Airbus got to customers in 2024, marking the sixth straight year the European plane maker has outdelivered Boeing. Unsurprisingly, Airbus was able to widen its lead from 2023 (when it delivered 735 aircraft to Boeing’s 528) amid a truly rough year for its competitor.

Boeing shares plunged by about 32% in 2024 — a year that began with a door-plug panel blowing off one of its 737 Max jets flown by Alaska Air and included a seven-week strike by its union machinists.
