Boeing achieved its highest August deliveries for seven years, taking the total for the first eight months to 385, a figure which exceeds the 348 across the whole of last year.
It handed over 57 aircraft in August, its second-best monthly performance this year, just shy of the 60 achieved in June.
Boeing delivered 42 737 Max jets, including seven for Irish budget carrier Ryanair, according to its latest backlog figures.
On the widebody front, the airframer delivered nine 787s – among them American Airlines’ 1,000th mainline aircraft – as well as four 777 freighters.
Boeing’s 777F deliveries included its 300th example which was handed over to Emirates.
Two other airframes – a 767 and an older-variant 737 – were delivered for the military E-7 and KC-46 programmes.
Along with the 14 777Xs ordered by Cathay Pacific, Boeing recorded agreements for seven 787s – two from Air New Zealand and five to an unidentified customer – as well as five 737 Max jets.
It also shifted 59 orders from its accounting bucket to the formal backlog, and struck off two cancelled 737 Max, bringing its overall net total to 83 for the month.
