Boeing saw its commercial aircraft revenue rise by more than 80% in the second quarter of 2025 thanks to a marked increase in deliveries.
Boeing released its latest financial results on July 29, 2025, indicating that commercial aircraft revenue had risen to $10.9 billion during the second quarter from $6 billion in the same period last year.
While only 93 commercial aircraft were delivered in the period last year, this had increased to 150 in Q2 2025. Despite the more positive news Boeing still recorded a loss of $557 million in the quarter.
In 2025 aircraft delivery efforts were hampered following the fall out when a door plug separated from an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 shortly after takeoff on January 5, 2024.
The Boeing 737 program increased the production rate to 38 per month in Q2 2025 and maintains plans to stabilize at that rate before requesting approval to increase to 42 per month later this year.
In part thanks to US President Donald Trump, Boeing logged 455 net orders in the quarter, including 120 787 and 30 777-9 planes for Qatar Airways and 32 787-10 airplanes for British Airways.
Overall, Boeing reported a reduced second quarter loss across all its business segments. The net loss was reported as $621 million in Q2 2025 compared to $1.4 billion in Q2 2024.
“Our fundamental changes to strengthen safety and quality are producing improved results as we stabilize our operations and deliver higher quality airplanes, products and services to our customers,” said Kelly Ortberg, Boeing President and CEO.
He added: “As we look to the second half of the year, we remain focused on restoring trust and making continued progress in our recovery while operating in a dynamic global environment.”
Overall revenue in the second quarter increased to $22.7 billion from 16.8 billion over the same period in 2024.
Defense, Space and Security second quarter revenue was $6.6 billion. A $913 million loss in Q2 2024 moved to a $110 million profit in Q2 2024.
During the quarter, Defense, Space and Security secured an award from the US Air Force to build four T-7A Red Hawk production representative aircraft and began ground testing on the first MQ-25 Stingray for the US Navy.
