Boeing's July deliveries included 39 of its best-selling 737 MAX jets, 10 787s, one 777 freighter and three 767s.
Through July, Boeing has delivered 367 jets in 2026, including 279 737 MAX aircraft and 50 787s.
The company also booked 38 new orders in July, while eight cancellations resulted in 30 net new orders. The orders included 18 737 MAX and 19 787 jets, with most of the commitments having been announced during the Farnborough Airshow in July.
Boeing's biggest order announcement at Farnborough was for 100 737 MAX jets from Irish aircraft lessor SMBC Aviation, one of the world's largest aircraft leasing companies. However, the order had been booked in June under an unidentified customer.
Separately, Boeing said it had booked more than 130 orders for the 737-10, the largest variant in the MAX family, through July.
