# Boeing August deliveries dip as 787 handovers fall

By Dan Catchpole

SEATTLE, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N) said on Tuesday that it delivered 51 jets in August, a slight dip from the previous month and down from 57 jets a year earlier, as the number of 787 Dreamliners handed to customers declined.

-   The U.S. planemaker delivered only four 787s, down from nine the prior August. A spokesperson said the drop in deliveries was not due to any production, supply chain or certification problems. That brought total deliveries of its popular wide-body in 2026 to 54 through August.
-   The company still expects to deliver 90 to 100 787s by the end of the year, the spokesperson said.
-   Increasing output of the highly profitable twin-aisle jet is crucial to Boeing’s financial turnaround.
-   European rival Airbus (AIR.PA) delivered 57 jets and booked 67 orders in August.
-   August deliveries included 41 737 MAX planes, Boeing’s best-selling jet. Nine were delivered to Southwest Airlines (LUV.N) , eight to United Airlines (UAL.O) and five to lessor AerCap (AER.N) .
-   Through August, Boeing has delivered 418 aircraft, the most since 2018, when it delivered 481 jets through the first eight months of the year.
-   Boeing booked 15 new orders in August - two 737 MAX and 13 787 jets. All were for unidentified customers. There were no cancellations in the month.
-   Through August, Boeing has booked 453 orders after adjusting for cancellations in 2026.
