Boeing delivered 60 commercial aircraft and booked 116 gross orders in June. Last month's deliveries comprised 42 737 Max jets, nine 787s, four 777 Freighters, two 767Fs and three 767-based KC-46 tankers, Boeing data shows. The US airframer highlights it delivered eight aircraft to customers in China. Deliveries to the nation had previously been suspended amid tensions over the US government's newly imposed trade tariffs. Fleet data shows that of the 42 Max jets delivered in June, three had first flown in 2019, one in 2021, and one in 2022. Year-to-date deliveries had reached 280 aircraft at 30 June, comprising 209 737s (including three P-8A maritime patrol aircraft), 37 787s,14 767s and 20 777s. Boeing notes that first-half figure of 280 and the second quarter's 150 represented the highest delivery volumes for the periods since 2018. During the first half of 2024, Boeing delivered 175 aircraft: 137 737s (including two P-8As), 22 787s, nine 767s and seven 777s. Boeing's 116 gross orders in June 2025 included 42 Max jets and 30 787s for unidentified customers. Alaska Airlines additionally placed a follow-on order of 12 Max jets, and Boeing booked 32 787s for British Airways, which the airline's parent IAG had disclosed in May. Singapore Airlines cancelled three Max orders. Boeing in June moved 43 orders from its backlog to the ASC 606 accounting category, an adjustment to recognise that not all orders lead to deliveries. Combined with the three cancellations, this meant that the 116 gross orders translated to 70 net orders. On 30 June, Boeing's year-to-date gross tally was 668. Factoring in 43 cancellations/conversions and, in the opposite direction, an ASC 606 adjustment of 51, net orders came in at 676.

The Estonian government has outlined a strategy to bolster the country’s air connectivity by prioritising the development of Tallinn airport, while opting against acquiring a stake in Latvia’s Air Baltic on the same terms as Lufthansa. Kuldar Leis, Estonia’s minister of infrastructure, told a cabinet meeting on 3 July that as Air Baltic is undergoing management changes, stabilising its financial results and developing a future strategy, the current offer is unsuitable. "When Air Baltic’s business plan is clearer, we can reconsider the purchase," he is quoted by the government as saying. Lufthansa is taking a 10% convertible share to hold minimum stake of 5% after the Riga-based airline’s IPO, which is expected to take place this year. Estonia’s focus will instead be on growing its own flight connections and passenger numbers from Tallinn, which Leis said would support the country’s economy. Air Baltic holds nearly 30% market share at Tallinn airport’s market share, the Estonian government notes. To enhance Tallinn airport’s role as a regional hub, the government has outlined three key initiatives: to develop a program to support the growth of critical air routes, to freeze fares at the airport for the next three years to provide stability, and expand its Tallinn’s passenger terminal. A more detailed plan to boost investment at the airport will be published in the fourth quarter of this year. According to Minister of Infrastructure Leis, ensuring the country's air connections is strategically important. "The acquisition of Air Baltic's shareholding is a weighty decision that will have a long-term impact on the country's air connections, transport infrastructure and the state's financial efficiency. In order to make such an investment, the state must have a very clear picture in front of it," Leis explained.

Ethiopian Airlines is seeking additional long-haul aircraft as it prepares to begin services to Australia, according to the African carrier's Asia-Pacific regional manager Telila Deressa Gutema. In a LinkedIn post, Gutema makes an appeal for "all aircraft lessors, leasing companies and owners" of available Airbus A350s and Boeing 787s to contact him. "Reach out to me directly, and I will facilitate the connection with our headquarters in Addis [Ababa]," he says. Fleet data shows that Ethiopian has 19 787-8s, 10 787-9s, 20 A350-900s and three A350-1000s. It has another 11 787-9s, 11 A350-900s and one A350-1000 on order. Ethiopian's passenger fleet additionally includes six 777-200LRs, five 777-300ERs, 20 Max 8s, eight 737NGs, and 29 De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 turboprops. Another 32 Max 8s, eight 777-9s and two Twin Otter Classic 300-G turboprops are on order by the airline. Gutema says that Ethiopian is gearing up to start direct services to Australia. In an earlier post, he describes meetings with representatives from Sydney and Melbourne airports and says that the carrier ultimately plans to serve both cities.
