Airbus Snatches Crown from BoeingâIs Max Drama Infinite?
Since 1967, Boeing's 737 was king of the skies until Airbus's 1987-born A320 pulled a surprise takeover with 12,260 deliveries versus Boeing's 12,259. The crown changed hands thanks to a Saudi budget airline, Flynas, snagging the 12,260th A320 on a Tuesdayâbecause who doesnât love midweek surprises? Boeingâs loss isnât just about planes; it's about MCAS scandals scaring regulators, a $2.5 billion fine for misleading them, and a 2024 nightmare flight where bolts went missing mid-air on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max. Airbus delivered 57 jets last month while Boeing struggled with 43. No planes or egos seem ready to land this rivalry soon!

Boeingâs 737 loses its crown to Airbus A320 by exactly one planeâbecause nothing says aviation dominance like a midweek delivery by a Saudi budget airline. Missing bolts and multi-billion fines: the Max drama soars higher than the jets.
When your planeâs production capped for missing bolts but neighborâs plane delivers 57, you know production meetings at Boeing are awkward family dinners.
Airbus finally beats Boeingâs 737 with 12,260 deliveries, proving even decades-old dominance can crash harder than their MCAS system.
