Boeing Unusual Options Activity For June 20

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct the amount of the North Carolina Community College System training initiative.
JetZero, a California-based aerospace startup, has <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jetzero-selects-north-carolina-for-4-7b-production-facility-will-create-over-14-500-jobs-302479910.html">announced</a> a $4.7 billion investment to build its first manufacturing facility in Greensboro, North Carolina — a move that could position it to compete with industry giants such as Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Airbus.&nbsp;
The new plant, located at Piedmont Triad International Airport, will manufacture the company's all-wing commercial jet, the Z4, and is expected to create over 14,500 jobs by 2036 — a record-setting employment commitment for the state, according to the North Carolina Department of Commerce.

</ul>
The Z4 aircraft is designed to deliver up to 50% greater fuel efficiency compared to conventional tube-and-wing jetliners. It will seat approximately 250 passengers and offer a range of 5,000 nautical miles. Initially powered by conventional jet fuel, the aircraft is also being developed with the potential for future hydrogen conversion, JetZero<a href="https://www.jetzero.aero/jetzero-selectsgreensborro-nc-for-factory"> said</a>.
The company says its blended-wing design reduces drag and positions its engines on the upper rear fuselage, enabling significantly quieter operation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airline Backing and Federal Support</h2>
JetZero has raised over $300 million in funding to date, including U.S. Air Force funding to support development of a full-scale demonstrator scheduled to fly by 2027, according to the<a href="https://apnews.com/article/north-carolina-airplane-plant-jetzero-fdb49ed6c9d38981765ef1f421e3357a"> Associated Press</a>. The company said it has signed conditional purchase agreements with United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), and formed a working group with 14 carriers to align the Z4's design with airport compatibility and operational requirements.

The facility is being developed in partnership with Siemens AG to include AI-driven digital manufacturing systems, with the goal of accelerating production and reducing costs, according to the release.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Win for North Carolina's Aerospace Ecosystem</h2>
JetZero's headquarters will relocate from Long Beach, California, to Greensboro once the site is operational. Production is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026, with commercial deliveries targeted for the early 2030s. According to the AP, the company aims to eventually produce up to 20 aircraft per month.
&#8220;This is more than just a factory. It's a launchpad for a new chapter of American aerospace,&#8221; said JetZero CEO Tom O'Leary to the AP.
The North Carolina Department of Commerce said the facility will generate average wages of over $89,000 per year, significantly above the county average. Economic incentives for the project—if all investment and employment milestones are met—could total more than $2.35 billion by the 2060s, including contributions from state and local governments.
"North Carolina was first in flight. We are also the future of flight," North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said at the formal announcement at Piedmont Triad International Airport, the AP reported.

A dedicated $32 million training initiative is being coordinated with Guilford Technical Community College and other regional institutions.
JetZero joins a growing aerospace cluster at the Piedmont Triad International Airport, already home to Honda Aircraft, Boom Supersonic, and over 400 aerospace companies across North Carolina, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/13/all-wing-plane-startup-jetzero-plans-build-billion-plant-north-carolina/">Fortune</a> reported.

JetZero Bets $4.7B On Revolutionary Aircraft – Could This Challenge Boeing, Airbus? (CORRECTED)

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is advocating for direct U.S. military intervention in Gaza, proposing the deployment of Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) B-2 Spirit bombers equipped with Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs to help Israel conclude its military campaign.
What Happened: Writing on X Wednesday, the Pershing Square Capital Management CEO outlined a comprehensive Middle East peace plan that would position President Donald Trump for a &#8220;Nobel Peace Prize.&#8221; 
&#8220;How about the following? The United States helps Israel finish the job with some B-2s and some GBU-57s,&#8221; Ackman wrote, calling for Israel to end the Gaza conflict in exchange for hostage returns and Saudi-funded reconstruction.
Ackman&#8217;s proposal specifically references advanced U.S. military hardware designed for precision strikes on fortified targets. 
The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator is a precision-guided bunker buster designed to strike deep underground targets. It can be carried by the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
The comments <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45966450/bill-ackman-warns-iran-an-existential-threat-to-america-says-it-is-time-to-finish-the-job">escalate Ackman&#8217;s previous statements</a> calling Iran &#8220;an existential threat to Israel, America and the world.&#8221; Earlier this month, he argued against negotiations with Tehran, stating &#8220;it is time to finish the job&#8221; regarding Iran&#8217;s nuclear program.

The Global X Defense Tech ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHLD#NASDAQ">SHLD</a>) has surged 56.80% year-to-date.
Trump has maintained strategic ambiguity <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/46010350/as-trump-weighs-options-on-iran-dow-futures-slip-defense-stocks-tick-up-in-after-hours-session">regarding potential U.S. involvement</a>, telling reporters Wednesday, &#8220;I may do it, I may not do it&#8221; when asked about striking Iran. The president warned Tehran residents to evacuate &#8220;immediately&#8221; earlier this week, stating &#8220;Iran can not have a nuclear weapon.&#8221;
Ackman&#8217;s vision extends beyond <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45414969/trump-attempts-to-make-good-on-his-proposal-for-a-middle-eastern-riviera-but-in-dubai-jeddah-and-riy">military action to economic transformation</a>. He proposes expanding the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia, predicting &#8220;an economic boom emerges in the Middle East&#8221; with Gaza becoming &#8220;a beautiful place to live and work.&#8221;
The investor&#8217;s peace plan reflects former President Barack Obama&#8216;s 2009 Nobel Peace Prize recognition. 
Both defense contractors, Northrop Grumman and Boeing, show strong momentum but rank poorly on valuation, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. NOC also maintains a positive price trend across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes.

Bill Ackman Calls For Northrop's B-2 Bombers, Boeing's GBU-57s To Help Israel 'Finish The Job' In Gaza, Pave Way For Trump's 'Nobel Peace Prize'

The National Transport Safety Board, or NTSB, has issued a safety warning over engines used in aircraft manufactured by Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSF#OTC">EADSF</a>).
What Happened: The agency warned that the CFM International Leap 1B engine could potentially let in smoke into the aircraft's cabin or cockpit when damaged, the agency said in a statement issued on Wednesday.
"The NTSB found that the engine load reduction device, or LRD, a safety feature designed to reduce the severity of vibrations transmitted from a damaged engine to the airframe, can result in damage to the engine oil system." the agency said in the statement before adding that such a condition "can allow smoke" to enter aircraft's the ventilation system.
The agency also recommended evaluating other engines from CFM, like Leap 1A and Leap 1C. The recommendations stem from two separate incidents in 2023 when a bird was ingested into the engines, leading to smoke in the aircraft's cabin.

Safety Concerns Mount For Boeing, Airbus As NTSB Investigates Smoke Risk Linked To Engines

Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) stole the spotlight on Day 2 of the Paris Air Show with a $6.6 billion VietJet deal, widening its lead over Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) as Bank of America Securities (BofA) flagged diverging order momentum <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and shifting industry dynamics.</a>
After engaging with over 20 companies on Day Two of the Paris Air Show, analysts observed a continued emphasis on themes from earlier discussions. However, they particularly noted a stronger drive toward automation, bullish sentiment regarding European defense opportunities, expectations for margin expansion, and industry strategies for managing tariff risks.
BofA Securities noted that rising cost pressures, particularly labor, are challenging historical views and driving the aerospace and defense sector toward increased automation to meet demand, boost margins, and improve quality.

BofA observed that companies with local European subsidiaries are best positioned for the region&#8217;s defense spending upcycle, amidst questions about U.S. participation, highlighted by limited American presence.
Tariffs remain a key uncertainty, with consensus leaning toward a return to the 1979 WTO agreement, the BofA report mentioned.
Boeing: The analysts met with Boeing&#8217;s VP of Commercial Marketing, Darren Hulst, to discuss fleet dynamics and a growing aircraft supply gap.
Hulst pointed to a looming widebody ramp-up, noting that 2024 production is still less than half of 2018 levels, with supply chain issues, the 787 production halt, and delays in the 777X and A350 driving a 300-aircraft shortfall.
Over the past 4.5 years, Boeing&#8217;s widebody jets have outsold Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) by 2.5x, driven by the 787&#8217;s family structure and shared engine platform, whereas the A350 lacks engine commonality and is slightly oversized.
On the narrowbody side, Hulst flagged a deficit of 1,500-1,700 aircraft, stemming from COVID disruptions, the 737 MAX production halt, and A320 supply issues.
This continues to support demand for both fleet replacement and growth. The current narrowbody fleet is around two years older than in 2018, and Boeing expects up to a third of all 737s to be MAX 10 variants by the decade&#8217;s end.
However, Hulst conceded that demand for the A321 will likely remain stronger, given its 7-year lead.
Airbus: On Day 2 of the Paris Air Show, Airbus extended its lead by securing a ~$6.6 billion deal with VietJet Aviation for 100 A321s and 50 options, bringing its total to 232 firm orders and 156 options, BofA Securities highlighted.
This latest agreement brings Airbus&#8217;s total announced orders at the event to 232 aircraft, plus options for an additional 156. In contrast, Embraer S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERJ#NYSE">ERJ</a>) has secured a single defense order for its C-390, with options for 10 more aircraft for potential NATO members, while Boeing has not yet announced any new deals at the show.
Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>): Lockheed Martin executives shared key strategic updates, highlighting growth prospects across autonomous systems, missile defense, and NATO-aligned production.
The company is advancing its MATRIX AI for Black Hawk helicopters to enable autonomous and optionally unmanned operations, an appealing solution for military logistics in contested zones, BofA Securities pointed out.
Lockheed is also positioned to capitalize on missile defense demand, aiming to integrate its well-established systems into the U.S.&#8217;s layered defense strategy and expand its counter-UAS capabilities.

No New Deals For Boeing As Airbus Continues Order Blitz At Paris Air Show

Reuters Cites Court Filing Saying Families Of Boeing 737 Max Victims Ask Judge Not To Dismiss Criminal Case Against Planemaker

As tensions flare in the Middle East, Aeronautics giant Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) are sharing the headlines for one of the world&#8217;s most powerful conventional weapons.
What Happened: With President Donald Trump promising &#8216;a real end&#8217; to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45968020/us-stock-futures-tumble-after-trump-threatens-real-end-to-irans-nuclear-problem-avoid-getting-whipsawed-by-noise-says-expert">Iran&#8217;s nuclear weapons</a> program, and Israel already on the offensive over the past couple of days, defense experts, analysts, and the media are once again focused on Tehran&#8217;s fortified nuclear facilities at Fordow and Natanz.
Buried 80 to 110 meters underground, these facilities are impenetrable by conventional munitions, according <a href="https://www.csis.org/analysis/three-things-will-determine-irans-nuclear-future-fordow-just-one-them">to</a> the Center for Strategic and International Studies. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45988135/bernie-sanders-slams-israels-illegal-attack-on-iran-says-absolutely-imperative-that-the-united-states-not-be-dragged-into-this-war">Bernie Sanders Slams Israel&#8217;s &#8216;Illegal&#8217; Attack On Iran, Says &#8216;Absolutely Imperative That The United States Not Be Dragged Into This War&#8217;</a>
The focus is now on the 30,000-pound GBU-57/B MOP (Massive Ordinance Penetrator), a precision-guided bomb made by Boeing, which can penetrate up to 200 feet of hardened concrete before detonation. 
There is also only one aircraft that is capable of carrying this massive bomb deep into contested airspace undetected, and that is the B-2 Spirit bomber, made by Northrop Grumman. 
Both stocks are benefiting from this renewed attention, but when it comes to shareholder returns, one has significantly outperformed the other over the past 10 years.
Northrop Grumman is up by a phenomenal 211%, significantly outperforming Boeing's 54% gain during the same period, as the latter wrestled with challenges pertaining to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36561497/boeing-faces-reputational-damage-after-midair-door-blowout-4-analysts-on-collateral">Boeing 737 Max</a> in recent years, followed by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39058924/boeings-production-slowdown-sends-shockwaves-through-aerospace-supply-chain">COVID-19 pandemic</a>. 
So, if you had invested $1,000 in Northrop Grumman 10 years ago, it would now be worth $3,110, whereas the same with Boeing would now be worth $1,540. If you had invested $1,000 in an S&amp;P 500 index fund, on the other hand, it would now be valued at $3,390, which means both the companies have trailed the market over the past 10 years.
Why It Matters: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market">crash of a Boeing Dreamliner</a> in Ahmedabad last week brought a fresh set of troubles for Boeing, with the stock witnessing a pullback soon after the news.
The conflict between Iran and Israel, however, could be a likely tailwind for the company, along with several other defense stocks, which have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45988507/trump-demands-irans-uncoditional-surrender-stock-futures-remain-steady-defense-shares-trade-higher-in-after-hours-trading">surging over the past week</a>. 
Price Action: Shares of Boeing were down 0.71% on Tuesday, trading at $200.26, with Northrop Grumman up 1.30%, at $503.97, and another 0.60% after hours.

The Bunker Buster Showdown: Boeing Built The Bomb, Northrop Built The Bomber—Which Stock Won Over The Past 10 Years?

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has been in the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. In the aftermath of the fatal aircrash in India's Ahmedabad, when a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45911791/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-b">Boeing 787 Dreamliner</a> operated by Air India crashed into a residential area moments after takeoff, serious questions have been raised regarding the safety and quality of Boeing aircraft.
AI 171 carried over 242 people on board, including the crew, of which only one passenger survived the crash. The accident also led to dozens of lives lost on the ground. In the aftermath, Boeing released a statement saying that "a Boeing team stands ready to support the investigation led by India&#8217;s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau."
However, a trend emerged on social media, which signalled a shift in perspective among the consumers who were denouncing the American aircraft manufacturer following the incident.
If It's Boeing, I'm Not Going
Many users took to social media platform X to express their discontent with Boeing. "If it's boeing, i ain't going is a great heuristic to keep living life," said one social media user.

This highlights growing sentiment against the plane maker, which has maintained that its aircraft are safe, among people. Let's take a closer look at some of Boeing's previous incidents.
A look at Boeing's tumultuous last few years&nbsp;
Boeing has been under scrutiny over the safety of its aircraft. In 2011, Boeing introduced the 787 Dreamliner with Japan's All Nippon Airways. However, the aircraft experienced multiple incidents involving the Lithium-ion batteries catching fire, which resulted in the 787 Dreamliner <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/06/45926295/elon-musk-once-said-boeing-had-too-many-non-technical-managers-whistleblower-flagged-flawed-787-dreamliner-manufacturing-all-the-warnings-before-air-india-plane-went-down-with-242-lives">being grounded in 2013 </a>by the FAA.

Questions were raised after three separate whistleblowers came out to highlight the aircraft manufacturer&#8217;s lax production practices and called into question the safety of the aircraft. One of the whistleblowers, John Barnett, was found dead days before being a witness at a trial involving Boeing, from an apparent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37628105/boeing-whistleblower-found-dead-from-alleged-self-inflicted-wound-days-before-he-was-set-to-testify">self-inflicted gunshot wound</a>.
Besides trouble with the 787, the 737-MAX aircraft has also experienced its share of incidents, like the 2018 Lion Air Flight 610 crash and the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in 2019, both of which resulted in a combined loss of over 346 lives.
Following the crashes, the FAA decided to ground the 737 MAX aircraft. Boeing was also under the DOJ radar as the agency prosecuted the aircraft manufacturer. However, Boeing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45481977/boeing-may-reportedly-once-again-dodge-prosecution-over-737-max-crashes-victims-families-slam-dojs-potential-agreement-as-backroom-deal-dressed-up-as-a-legal-proceeding">avoided prosecution</a> after a $1.1 billion agreement with the DOJ. 2024's Jeju Air Crash, which took over 179 lives, also brought Boeing under public scrutiny over its aircraft.
Boeing vs Airbus
Both Boeing and Airbus have thousands of aircraft currently in service; 14,000 and 12,000, to be exact, according to both companies. "Boeing and Airbus aircraft are fairly similar in many respects," aviation expert Bernard Lavelle told <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a>. 
"For the Boeing 737 Max series, you have the Max 8&amp;9 currently flying and the Max 7 &amp; 10 are awaiting approval. The Airbus equivalent is the A320/A321 series," he added.
Additionally, Airbus uses a Fly-by-wire system in its aircraft, while Boeing employs artificial speed stability with manual trim. Boeing aircraft also use a yoke for steering, while Airbus employs sidesticks, which are ergonomic but provide lesser visual feedback.
"Airbus uses ECAM (Electronic centralised aircraft monitoring) for system monitoring and provides see-and-do checklists, while Boeing uses EICAS (Engine indicating and crew alerting system), which only alerts pilots of failures," Lavelle shared.
So, is Airbus safer than Boeing?
"Statistically, there is not a huge difference in safety between Boeing and Airbus aircraft. They have had a similar number of incidents, when adjusted for the number of aircraft from both manufacturers that are in the market," Lavelle added.

Both aircraft manufacturers have had comparable safety track records, according <a href="https://asn.flightsafety.org/asndb/types/DB">to</a> Aviation Safety Network data. However, Lavelle did acknowledge the recent air crashes involving Boeing aircraft. "The challenge for Boeing is that their aircraft have been in a number of high profile incidents in the last few years," he said.
The road ahead for Boeing
While the manufacturer has been under scrutiny for its safety and quality concerns, Boeing has been making the right moves. "[Kelly] Ortberg seems to be doing the right things by tackling the culture at Boeing, getting it back to focus on safety and engineering excellence, which seemed to be lost under previous CEO&#8217;s," Lavelle shared.

Boeing has also been making moves in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45827130/nasa-delays-boeing-starliner-flight-to-2026-amid-ongoing-technical-challenges">space exploration sector</a>. However, the company's ambitions could be more difficult to realize than previously thought, as the Starliner, which is the company's flagship space vehicle, has encountered difficulties in development.
As for the AI 171 crash, black box data could point to what went wrong. "There are a lot of speculative theories out there at the moment," Lavelle said before adding that it "does appear to have been some form of power loss but as yet we do not know why." In the aftermath, however, authorities in India <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45919464/boeing-faces-fresh-turmoil-as-india-mulls-787-8-grounding-after-fatal-crash-ceo-kelly-cancels-paris-trip-report">could ground the 787 Dreamliner</a> fleet in the country.

'If It's Boeing, I'm Not Going:' Why Some People Are Turning Their Backs On The American Plane Maker In Favor Of Rival Airbus

Global

Reuters Cites India Aviation Regulator Saying Recent Surveillance Conducted On Air India's Boeing 787 Fleet Did Not Reveal Any Major Safety Concerns; Air India's Boeing 787 Aircraft, Associated Maintenance Systems Found To Be Compliant With Existing Safety Standards

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) are touting their defense credentials in a bid to secure more contracts in the development of President Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile defense system.
What Happened: "We clearly have a whole number of product lines that will contribute very well, that are going to fit very well with what is necessary to achieve the mission," said Tim Cahill, president of Missiles and Fire Control at Lockheed Martin, in a Reuters report published Monday.
The report outlines that Lockheed Martin already supplies key components that could be incorporated into the Golden Dome, including missile detection systems and other components.
Boeing, too, has signaled its involvement. Interim Defense and Space CEO Steve Parker noted that the aerospace giant has "done a lot of work" on the project, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Trump's Golden Dome project is being eyed by several key players in the defense space as well as in Silicon Valley. Companies like SpaceX, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44861620/spacex-palantir-frontrunners-in-bid-that-could-build-donald-trumps-golden-dome-report">emerged as frontrunners</a> for key projects in the initiative.
The project, which will reportedly cost over $175 billion, has also faced criticism from experts, who believe it could trigger a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45584539/donald-trumps-175-billion-golden-dome-could-trigger-a-new-space-arms-race-expert-warns-its-opening-a-pandoras-box">space-based weapons</a> arms race throughout the globe.
Xi Jinping's China has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45541866/xi-jinpings-china-wants-trump-to-immediately-drop-the-golden-dome-project-over-strong-offensive-implications-security-of-all-countries-should-not-be-compromised">expressed serious concerns </a>about the initiative, as officials from the CCP have urged the Trump administration to reconsider its decision to go ahead with the project.

Boeing, Lockheed Martin Compete For Key Role In Trump's $175 Billion Golden Dome Project

President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a bilateral trade agreement Monday at the G7 Summit, formally reducing tariffs on select sectors while leaving critical steel and aluminum import quotas undetermined.
What Happened: The deal eliminates tariffs on UK aerospace exports and reaffirms automotive quotas, but steel and aluminum remain subject to pending Commerce Department review, reported Reuters. 
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will set quota levels for British steel imports exempt from 25% tariffs, contingent on UK security demonstrations for supply chains and production facilities.
&#8220;We signed it and it&#8217;s done,&#8221; Trump said, holding the signed document. Starmer called it &#8220;a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength.&#8221;
The agreement grants British automakers an annual quota of 100,000 vehicles at 10% tariff rates, significantly below the 25% imposed on other nations.

Why It Matters: Major UK manufacturers, including Rolls-Royce Holdings and Aston Martin, benefit from the automotive provisions, while General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) have previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45342313/trumps-uk-trade-carveouts-baffles-economist-justin-wolfers-bentley-rolls-royce-exemption-is-politically-insane">criticized the deal&#8217;s preferential treatment</a>.
The aerospace sector eliminates all tariffs on UK parts and planes under the executive order. Britain avoided the 50% steel and aluminum tariffs imposed on other countries earlier this month, but faced potential elevated tariffs starting July 9 without this agreement.
Critical pharmaceutical sector negotiations remain ongoing. UK Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said both countries seek &#8220;significantly preferential outcomes&#8221; for pharmaceuticals while protecting against further Section 232 investigation tariffs, according to the report.

Shares of airline stocks are trading higher, rebounding after falling on Friday. Oil prices have come down and geopolitical uncertainty could be easing amid a report suggesting Iran wants to de-escalate Israel hostilities.

'Boeing Progressing at Fastest Pace in Years on Air Force One'- Bloomberg

Even as its troubles refuse to die down, aviation giant Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) remains optimistic about the future and continues to bet on a surge in global air travel over the next two decades.
What Happened: On Sunday, Boeing released its 2025 Commercial Market Outlook, forecasting global demand for commercial aircraft through 2044.
The report, which spans the period from 2025 to 2044, anticipates that the global in-service fleet will nearly double, driven by steady growth in passenger traffic and a rising middle class across emerging markets. It expects demand for 43,600 new commercial airplanes during this period.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/social-media/25/06/45941107/mark-cuban-criticizes-bluesky-gets-welcome-back-on-x-by-ceo-yaccarino-welcome-home-to-the-true-global-town-square">Mark Cuban Criticizes Bluesky, Gets Welcome Back On X By CEO Yaccarino: &#8216;Welcome Home To The True Global Town Square&#8217;</a>
A bulk of this demand will be driven by Asia, according to the report, specifically India and China, with single aisle aircraft, such as the 737 Max, leading the way. These planes are essential for supporting the short and medium-haul routes that dominate the aviation markets in these fast-growing regions. 
The report states that the 787 and the upcoming 777X widebody jets will account for just about 7,800 new deliveries, with the rest consisting of single-aisle jets, at 33,285. Dedicated freighter demand is pegged at 955 jets over the forecast period. The cargo segment, which while slowing from its pandemic highs, is still expected to grow at 3.7% annually.
Fleet replacement remains a significant driver of demand in mature markets. Boeing said nearly half of all deliveries globally will replace older, less efficient aircraft.
It&#8217;s worth noting, however, that this marks a decline from the company&#8217;s outlook last year, at 43,975 total deliveries, primarily due to the cut in its wide-body delivery forecasts, as the post-COVID recovery in long-haul travel has been slower, alongside its own delivered capacity that is still 20% below pre-pandemic levels.
Why It Matters: This comes as the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45940768/boeings-troubled-2000s-from-a-sweetheart-1-1b-deal-before-deadly-air-india-crash-to-stranding-astronauts-at-iss-and-airline-crashes">continues to face scrutiny</a> over multiple crashes, whistleblowers, and multi-billion-dollar fines.
The most recent incident was the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market">crash of a Boeing</a> 787-8 Dreamliner in Ahmedabad, India, last week, just minutes after take-off, resulting in 274 deaths. 
Experts and analysts, however, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42755161/boeing-4-reasons-it-will-be-the-comeback-story-of-2025">predict a turnaround</a> for the company, with the bad news now firmly behind it, and the company having taken several measures to ensure safety. Leading up to 2025, Boeing also hinted at ramping up the production of its 737 Max aircraft, which has been at the center of this storm.
Price Action: Shares of Boeing were down 1.68% on Friday, trading at $200.32 per share, and are up 0.14% after hours.

Boeing Projects Demand For 43,600 Jets Over Next 20 Years—Asia, Single-Aisle Planes To Lead The Charge

An Air India Boeing 787-8 en route to New Delhi from Hong Kong made an unexpected return to Hong Kong on Monday after an in-flight irregularity prompted safety concerns.
What Happened: Flight AI315 departed Hong Kong at around 12:20 p.m. local time and started climbing toward its cruising altitude. Reuters reports that at 22,000 feet, the crew identified a possible malfunction and decided to reverse course. It landed safely back at Hong Kong International Airport at approximately 1:15 PM.
Air India stated: "AI315 returned to Hong Kong shortly after take-off due to a technical issue. The flight landed safely … and is undergoing checks as a matter of abundant precaution."
According to the Airport Authority Hong Kong, the plane requested emergency standby shortly after takeoff. The Dreamliner involved in the incident is seven years old.

Why It Matters: The incident comes on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45911791/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-b">tragic crash</a> involving another Air India Dreamliner, which killed 241 passengers in Ahmedabad, India, last week.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45910788/boeing-stock-drops-after-dreamliner-crash-just-weeks-following-15-month-high">stock fell after rising to a 15-month high</a>.
The company has been at the center of controversy following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45940768/boeings-troubled-2000s-from-a-sweetheart-1-1b-deal-before-deadly-air-india-crash-to-stranding-astronauts-at-iss-and-airline-crashes">series of incidents</a> involving its aircraft.

Monday's incident in Hong Kong is likely to add to Boeing's woes, as India considers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45919464/boeing-faces-fresh-turmoil-as-india-mulls-787-8-grounding-after-fatal-crash-ceo-kelly-cancels-pa">grounding the country&#8217;s Boeing 787-8</a> fleet temporarily.

Air India Boeing 787-8 Returns To Hong Kong Mid-Flight Due To Technical Issue, Prompting Fresh Scrutiny Of Airline's Safety Protocols

Honeywell&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) on Monday announced that Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) is in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45943435/honeywell-runway-safety-technology-selected-by-southwest-airlines-for-fleetwide-installation" rel="noreferrer noopener">process of activating</a> its entire Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) Boeing 737 aircraft fleet with Honeywell&#8217;s SmartRunway and SmartLanding software designed to increase runway safety.
This capability is enabled via the Honeywell Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) already on Southwest aircraft, and more than 700 aircraft have been activated to date.
SmartRunway and SmartLanding use aural and visual alerts to increase flight crew situational awareness during taxi, takeoff, and landing and promote stabilized approaches.

SmartRunway and SmartLanding are certified for most Airbus and Boeing aircraft and numerous business aviation platforms.&nbsp;
Honeywell also announced it is currently testing its next-generation runway safety technology, Surface Alerts (SURF-A), with an expected certification for commercial aircraft in 2026, pending regulatory approval.
The company said in a press release that this agreement furthers Honeywell&#8217;s long-standing partnership with Southwest, the world&#8217;s largest 737 platform operator.
In 2015, Southwest selected Honeywell flight-deck systems for its 240-unit order of 737 MAX airliners, adding to its 737 Next Generation models flying with Honeywell cockpit avionics.&nbsp;
Southwest was also the first airline to incorporate Honeywell&#8217;s Integrated Multi-Mode Receiver technology into its fleet.
Shifting focus to international aviation, a recent crash in India has brought safety regulations to the forefront of industry discussions.
India&#8217;s aviation ministry is reportedly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45919464/boeing-faces-fresh-turmoil-as-india-mulls-787-8-grounding-after-fatal-crash-ceo-kelly-cancels-paris-trip-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">considering temporarily grounding</a> the country&#8217;s Boeing 787-8 fleet following a catastrophic&nbsp;Air India crash that killed over 240 people&nbsp;near Ahmedabad.
The fatal incident occurred when&nbsp;Air India&nbsp;flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London, crashed moments after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
Air India operates 34 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, the largest domestic fleet of this type of aircraft. The airline could be scrutinized over its maintenance practices.
Price Actions: HON stock is trading lower by 0.04% to $224.29 premarket at last check Monday. LUV is down 0.06%, and BA is up 0.04%.

Southwest Airlines To Equip Entire Boeing 737 Fleet With Honeywell's Runway Safety Technology

Following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45911791/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-b">Thursday's fatal plane crash</a> in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, when a Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 787 Dreamliner aircraft, operated by Air India with 242 passengers onboard, crashed moments after takeoff, the aircraft manufacturer's troubled past has once again come to the surface.
Multiple Incidents, Three Whistleblowers And Prosecution Avoided
Serious questions about the company's safety and quality practices have been raised in the past following incidents with the 787 Dreamliner's Lithium-ion batteries, as well as three separate whistleblowers coming out to express serious concerns about the aircraft's manufacturing.
Amid the challenges, the company recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45481977/boeing-may-reportedly-once-again-dodge-prosecution-over-737-max-crashes-victims-families-slam-dojs-potential-agreement-as-backroom-deal-dressed-up-as-a-legal-proceeding"> avoided prosecution </a>by agreeing to pay over $1.1 billion in a deal over two fatal air crashes in 2018 and 2019 that led to the deaths of over 346 people. The decision has angered the victims' families.&nbsp;
The non-prosecution agreement involves the aircraft company investing $455 million in compliance and safety programs, as well as compensating the victims' families with over $444.5 million.
The trial was originally set to begin on June 23, but Boeing struck a deal that involved pleading guilty to misleading the FAA. The company had previously also avoided prosecution in 2021 when it was deferred after Boeing paid over $2.5 billion.
Jeju Air disaster, Faulty Bathroom Latches
In two separate incidents, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by South Korea's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42716905/boeing-in-spotlight-after-fatal-737-800-crash-in-south-korea-stock-declined-28-amid-deepening-2024-challenges">Jeju Air crashed</a>. The crash led to over 179 lives lost from the 181 passengers onboard the aircraft, while the Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36523143/im-going-to-die-passengers-experience-15-minute-nightmare-during-alaska-airs-harrowing-emergency">Flight 1282 </a>experienced a sudden loss of cabin pressure, forcing an emergency landing, as well as resulting in over 65 737 MAX 9 aircraft being grounded.
However, the woes didn't stop there as the FAA also proposed an airworthiness report after a passenger was stuck in a lavatory of a Boeing aircraft mid-flight due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">a faulty bathroom latch</a>. The repairs could reportedly cost Boeing $3.4 million and affect thousands of aircraft in its fleet.
Despite such issues, the FAA has recently allowed Boeing to continue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/05/45692905/faa-extends-program-allowing-boeing-to-conduct-inspections-on-agencys-behalf">inspections and approve repairs</a> on the agency's behalf.
Space ambitions proving difficult to realize
In addition to being a key figure in the aircraft manufacturing sector, Boeing is also a major player in the space exploration industry. The company's flagship rocket, the Starliner, was touted to be Boeing's answer to Elon Musk's SpaceX. However, fast forward to today, the Starliner has had its share of issues.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45827130/nasa-delays-boeing-starliner-flight-to-2026-amid-ongoing-technical-challenges">failed test in 2024</a> left two astronauts stranded aboard the International Space Station for over 9 months and the vehicle is yet to be certified for human transport. Besides this, the company's progress in its development is slower than anticipated, much to the dismay of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45855902/why-jeff-bezos-might-emerge-as-the-biggest-winner-in-the-trump-musk-feud"> NASA and Pentagon officials</a>.
Aftermath Of The fatal Ahmedabad crash
Following the disaster, Boeing CEO Kelly Otberg said that "a Boeing team stands ready to support the investigation led by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau."

Boeing's Troubled 2000s: From A Sweetheart $1.1B Deal Before Deadly Air India Crash To Stranding Astronauts At ISS And Airline Crashes

The weekend was a whirlwind of events in the business world. From a tragic plane crash to concerns about the International Space Station, the news was filled with significant developments. Here&#8217;s a recap of the top stories:
Boeing&#8217;s Tragedy Strikes Again Tragedy struck when a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operated by Air India, crashed in Ahmedabad, claiming 241 lives. The incident has once again brought safety and quality control issues of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) into the spotlight. This comes after Elon Musk&#8217;s previous comments about Boeing having &#8220;too many non-technical managers.&#8221;

Musk&#8217;s Alarm Over ISS SpaceX CEO Elon Musk expressed his concerns about the safety of the International Space Station (ISS). Musk stated that some of the ISS&#8217;s components are getting &#8220;too old&#8221; and pose an increasing amount of risk.
