Boeing reported delivering 60 airplanes in June, the most the company has produced in a single month since the blowout of a door plug aboard a 737 Max in January 2024. 

According to CNBC, 42 of the 60 planes Boeing delivered in June were 737 Maxes, which went to Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines and United Airlines among others. This brought the total number of planes Boeing handed over in the second quarter of 2025 to 150, marking the highest quarterly delivery total the company has achieved since 2018, when it scaled back its operations in response to a pair of deadly plane crashes. 

Monthly production for the 737 Max line remained capped by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at 38 jets a month although, during a May investor call, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg expressed confidence that the company is ready to raise that threshold to 42 planes. The FAA initially imposed the cap in early 2024 to address safety concerns following the door plug blowout. In the months that followed the incident, Boeing employees spoke of a pervasive culture of rushed work and low safety standards.

In an assessment from the National Transportation Safety Board released in late June, the FAA was criticized for its "inadequate oversight" of Boeing leading up to the door plug incident. The assessment praised Ortberg for the steps Boeing has taken to shore up quality control issues, although NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy noted that the company still has "a lot of challenges to address."
