Boeing (BA) Stock Soars on New Orders and FAA Developments
Boeing (BA) shares experienced a significant surge, climbing over 4% on Friday, September 26, 2025, driven by positive news including potential easing of FAA restrictions on aircraft deliveries and major new orders from several airlines. The stock price reached $222.05 after an initial pop.
Turkish Airlines Places Major Order
Turkish Airlines confirmed a substantial aircraft purchase, announcing firm orders for 50 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with options for an additional 25. This signals strong confidence in long-haul demand. They are also in discussions to acquire up to 150 of Boeing's 737-8 and 737-10 MAX jets. Engine negotiations are underway with CFM International, Rolls-Royce, and GE Aerospace (GE).
- This order marks Turkish Airlines' largest-ever purchase of Boeing wide-body aircraft.
- The acquisition supports the airline's strategy to expand its fleet and global network.
FAA Oversight and Uzbekistan Airways Deal
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reportedly planning to restore Boeing's authority to perform final safety checks on its 737 MAX jets, a key step in the company's recovery. Earlier in the week, Boeing secured a deal with Uzbekistan Airways for up to 22 787 Dreamliners, valued at over $8 billion. This deal, along with the Turkish Airlines order, highlights growing demand for Boeing aircraft.
Potential Deal with China and Market Sentiment
U.S. officials indicated that Boeing might be close to securing a large agreement with China. U.S. ambassador to China, David Perdue, suggested the two countries were in the final stages of talks for a "huge" aircraft order. This potential deal further fueled investor confidence, contributing to Boeing's strong performance. The company has gained 29.2% since the start of the year and is trading near its 52-week high.
Boeing's Overall Performance
Boeing's shares have shown limited volatility over the past year. However, this recent upward move suggests that the market perceives the news as significant. The company also submitted proposals to European Union regulators to secure approval for its planned purchase of Spirit AeroSystems. Kazakhstan also signaled plans to expand its own fleet of Boeing planes in the coming years.
