Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) posted a sharp year-over-year rebound in November aircraft deliveries but fell short of October’s pace, highlighting both improving execution after last year’s disruptions and the continued unevenness of its production recovery as Airbus (OTC:EADSY) extended its delivery lead.

Boeing reported 44 aircraft deliveries in November, up from 13 planes a year earlier but down from 53 deliveries in October. Data from Boeing’s delivery records show the bulk of November handovers were narrowbody aircraft, led by the 737 MAX program.

Deliveries were spread across a broad mix of airline customers and leasing companies in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, underscoring the global demand backdrop for single-aisle jets.
