Boeing still leads Airbus for aircraft deliveries in 2026, but its lead has narrowed after the European manufacturer outpaced its US rival last month. On May 12, 2026, Boeing updated its orders and deliveries data which also revealed a surprising number of aircraft purchases from as yet unidentified customers.
