NEWPORT BEACH - On January 13, 2026, Boeing announced that aircraft leasing company Aviation Capital Group (ACG) placed a firm order for 50 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

The order is evenly divided between 25 737-8s and 25 737-10s, with deliveries scheduled to occur between 2026 and 2033. With this purchase, ACG’s total 737 MAX backlog increases to 121 aircraft, giving the lessor the largest order book for the 737-10 among global leasing companies. The transaction highlights continued demand from lessors for next-generation narrowbody aircraft as airlines seek fuel-efficient, flexible jets to support network growth and fleet renewal.

ACG emphasized that the order aligns with its strategy of providing airlines with modern, reliable aircraft that offer improved operating economics. Boeing, in turn, pointed to the deal as further validation of the 737 MAX family’s market appeal and reaffirmed the long-standing partnership between the two companies.

TOULOUSE - In 2025, Airbus delivered 793 commercial aircraft to airlines and leasing customers worldwide.

This represents a 4% increase compared with the prior year and highlighting continued demand across its product portfolio. Deliveries were spread across the A220, A320, A330neo, and A350 families, with single-aisle aircraft accounting for the majority of handovers as airlines continued to prioritize fleet renewal and capacity growth in the narrowbody segment.

During the year, Airbus also recorded 1,000 gross commercial aircraft orders, or 889 net of cancellations, reflecting sustained customer interest in both narrowbody and widebody programs despite a complex operating environment. By year-end, the company’s order backlog reached a record 8,754 aircraft, including more than 1,100 widebodies, providing strong long-term visibility for production and deliveries. Overall, the 2025 results underscored Airbus’s ability to maintain delivery growth and sales momentum while navigating ongoing supply-chain and industrial challenges heading into 2026.

ATLANTA - Delta Air Lines and Boeing have announced a major new aircraft order that will help modernize Delta’s long-haul fleet and support its international growth strategy.

Delta has placed its first direct order for Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets, committing to 30 firm Boeing 787-10 aircraft with options for up to 30 more, potentially bringing the total to 60 Dreamliners. Deliveries are expected to begin in the early 2030s, and the widebody jets will be deployed on high-demand routes across the Atlantic and to South America. The 787-10 model offers Delta higher passenger capacity and significantly better fuel efficiency than older airplanes, lowering operating costs while improving passenger comfort with features like larger windows and a more pleasant cabin environment. This order boosts Delta’s Boeing order book to 130 aircraft, including previous commitments for 100 Boeing 737-10 jets, and reinforces the long-standing partnership between the airline and the U.S. manufacturer.
