Top 5 Commercial Aircraft by Orders and Deliveries as of 2025

Hello guys, welcome back to JetLine Marvel!
In this article, we’re going to talk about the Top 5 Commercial Aircraft by Orders and Deliveries as of 2025.

With the growing demand for air travel, airlines are constantly on the lookout for the most efficient and reliable aircraft. And when it comes to building those jets, Airbus and Boeing are the two big names that have been dominating the market for decades.

Even though Boeing has faced some challenges recently, including strikes and quality issues, it’s still managing to hold a strong position in global aircraft orders.

So, let’s dive into the details and see which aircraft families are leading the market today!

1. Airbus A320neo Family (A319neo, A320neo, A321neo)

• This aircraft family tops the list with a massive 19,233 total orders — making it the best-selling aircraft series in the world, even ahead of the Boeing 737 family.
• As of 2024, Airbus had already delivered over 7,000 aircraft, and in Q1 2025 alone, they delivered 134 more.
• What makes it so popular? The A321neo is known for its excellent fuel efficiency, offering 15–20% savings, and its newest variant, the A321XLR, introduced in 2024, adds impressive long-range capability to this narrow-body jet.
• The A320neo family also has a huge backlog — around 8,658 units as of the end of 2024 — showing strong demand from airlines worldwide.

2. Boeing 737 MAX Family (737-7, 737-8, 737-9, 737-10)

• Coming in second, the 737 MAX family has over 16,000 total orders to date.
• Boeing has delivered around 5,000 aircraft, including 263 in 2024 and around 100 more in Q1 2025.
• Despite setbacks in 2024, the 737 MAX remains a key player in the market thanks to its 20% fuel efficiency improvement and strong airline interest.
• However, compared to Airbus, its backlog is lower, with about 5,626 aircraft waiting to be delivered.

3. Airbus A350

Next up is the Airbus A350, one of the most advanced wide-body aircraft from Airbus.

• It has received around 1,200 total orders so far.
• In 2024 alone, Airbus secured 142 new orders for the A350, highlighting growing interest in long-haul travel.
• So far, over 600 A350s have been delivered to airlines across the globe, including 14 in 2024 and 6 more in early 2025.

This aircraft is packed with next-gen avionics and technology, offering long-range efficiency while carrying 300 to 400 passengers, depending on the configuration.

• It’s one of the most advanced wide-bodies in service today.
• Demand for this aircraft continues to rise.
• Airbus is even working on a military version of the A350, expected after 2028, which adds even more versatility and value to this aircraft platform.

4. Boeing 787 Dreamliner

At number four, we have the Boeing 787 Dreamliner – a revolutionary wide-body that changed the game for long-haul travel.

• Boeing has received over 2,000 total orders for the Dreamliner.
• More than 1,000 aircraft have already been delivered worldwide.
• In 2024, 40 units were delivered, followed by 13 more in 2025.

The Dreamliner is known for:

• Excellent long-range capabilities
• Passenger comfort
• Modern cockpit with advanced avionics
• High fuel efficiency

As of 2025, it has a backlog of 836 aircraft, but growth has slowed slightly due to inventory and supply chain challenges.

Still, it remains a top choice for airlines flying long international routes.

5. Airbus A220 Family

And finally, we have the Airbus A220 – a narrow-body aircraft that’s optimized for regional and short-haul routes.

• Originally developed by Bombardier as the CSeries, Airbus took over the program in 2018.
• Since then, it has secured around 900 orders.
• 300 aircraft were delivered by 2024, and 10 more in early 2025.

The A220 is:

• Ideal for the 100–150 seat market
• A perfect complement to the larger A320neo family
• Designed for short- to medium-haul operations

It’s a favorite among airlines looking for efficiency on regional routes, and it’s already in service in multiple countries.

As of now, the backlog stands at 498 aircraft, and production is gradually ramping up to meet increasing demand.

So that wraps up our list of the Top 5 Commercial Aircraft by Orders and Deliveries as of 2025!
From narrow-bodies to wide-bodies, Airbus and Boeing continue to lead the skies with some of the most advanced aircraft ever built.
