Frequently Asked Questions
How are commercial aircraft deliveries counted and verified?
A delivery is verified when ownership title transfers from the manufacturer to the airline or lessor, validated by civil registration reassignment and the departure of the customer delivery flight from the OEM final assembly facility.
Why has Airbus maintained the commercial delivery lead in recent years?
Airbus operates four decentralized A320 assembly sites across Toulouse, Hamburg, Mobile, and Tianjin, producing up to 60 single-aisle jets per month. The A321neo and long-range A321XLR variants represent over 60% of total single-aisle deliveries.
Where are Boeing commercial aircraft built and delivered?
The Boeing 737 MAX is assembled in Renton, Washington and delivered from Boeing Field (KBFI) in Seattle. The 787 Dreamliner is built and delivered exclusively at Charleston International Airport (KCHS) in North Carolina, while the 777F and KC-46 are assembled at Paine Field (KPAE) in Everett.
What role does Embraer play in the annual delivery race?
Embraer is the world third-largest commercial aircraft manufacturer, dominating the regional crossover segment with its E190-E2 and E195-E2 assembled in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, delivering between 60 and 80 aircraft per year.
