The aircraft ranked here use official commercial delivery totals, and family combinations or military production are labelled rather than mixed in. Rank is by official manufacturer delivery totals for named commercial types or families, and family combinations or military production are labelled rather than mixed into a silent different product [1][2][3]. The Airbus A320 Family is first, at 12,955 official deliveries at the end of October 2026, the official Airbus orders-and-deliveries table for that month [1]. The Boeing 737 family is second, at 12,772 deliveries as of October 2026 [2]. A later compiled 12,739-plus figure for the 737 is an earlier product and is not used as a silent replacement [3]. The two families are labelled as families, not as single types, and military 737 variants such as the P-8 and C-40 are labelled as part of the standard family total rather than subtracted without an official civil-only census [2][3]. The Douglas DC-3 has a published total of 16,079 aircraft, of which only 607 were built as civil airliners and 15,472 as military transports; that mixed total is a different product and is not used to overtake the two official commercial-family leaders [3].
Later names remain in the same official commercial-delivery class. The Boeing 727 is third, at the official 1,832 aircraft [4]. The Boeing 777 is fourth, at 1,798 deliveries as of October 2026 [5]. The Airbus A330 Family is fifth, at 1,678 official deliveries at the end of October 2026 [1]. The Boeing 747 is sixth, at 1,573 official customer deliveries, with the N7470 prototype built but not delivered and therefore labelled rather than added as a silent 1,574 [6]. The Boeing 767 is seventh, at 1,380 deliveries as of October 2026, a family total that can include tanker and military derivatives, labelled [7]. The Boeing 787 is eighth, at 1,322 deliveries as of October 2026 [8]. The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 is ninth, at the official 1,191 aircraft [9]. The Boeing 757 is tenth, at the official 1,050 aircraft [10]. A later unsourced ATR 72 total of 1,233 is not used to stand between the 787 and the MD-80. The official Airbus A300 and A310 total of 816 deliveries, and the official A350 total of 743 at the end of October 2026, sit just outside [1].

Key Facts
The ten below are the labelled official commercial-delivery leaders: the Airbus A320 Family, 12,955 at the end of October 2026; the Boeing 737 family, 12,772 as of October 2026; the Boeing 727, 1,832; the Boeing 777, 1,798 as of October 2026; the Airbus A330 Family, 1,678 at the end of October 2026; the Boeing 747, 1,573 official customer deliveries; the Boeing 767, 1,380 as of October 2026; the Boeing 787, 1,322 as of October 2026; the McDonnell Douglas MD-80, 1,191; and the Boeing 757, 1,050 [1][2][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Rank 1 is the outstanding official commercial-family total, which stands just above the official 737 family total and far above every later named type.
The table is the official spine: official delivery totals first, families and military mixes labelled, and no silent substitution of a mixed military-and-civil total.

1. Airbus A320 Family
The Airbus A320 Family is first, at 12,955 official deliveries at the end of October 2026 [1]. The official Airbus orders-and-deliveries table for that month also records 20,598 family orders [1]. The total is a family figure, covering the A318, A319, A320 and A321, including neo variants, and that family status is labelled [1]. This article records the official 12,955 figure. It stands just above the Boeing 737 family total of 12,772 as of the same official month, after the A320 Family overtook the 737 as the most-delivered jet airliner family in 2025 [1][2].
It is first as the outstanding official commercial-family total, a labelled end-of-October 2026 fact, and the documentary centre of this ten [1]. A later official monthly revision will belong in a revision of the cell.

2. Boeing 737 family
The Boeing 737 family is second, at 12,772 deliveries as of October 2026 [2]. A later compiled 12,739-plus figure is an earlier product and is not used as a silent replacement [3]. The total is a family figure, covering original, Classic, Next Generation and MAX models, and military variants such as the P-8 and C-40 are labelled as part of the standard family total rather than subtracted without an official civil-only census [2][3]. This article records the 12,772 figure as of October 2026. It stands far above the Boeing 727 official total of 1,832.

Conclusion
A 2026 most-produced-commercial-aircraft list has to keep the Airbus A320 Family at the official 12,955 deliveries recorded at the end of October 2026, keep the Boeing 737 family at 12,772 as of the same official month, and refuse to treat a mixed military-and-civil total, including the DC-3's 16,079 figure, as a silent official commercial cell [1][2][3]. The Boeing 727, the Boeing 777, the Airbus A330 Family, the Boeing 747, the Boeing 767, the Boeing 787, the McDonnell Douglas MD-80, and the Boeing 757 complete a named ten in which official delivery totals, family combinations, and military mixes are stated in the open [1][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The useful habit is a dated official delivery total, a labelled family or military note, and a refusal to mix an unofficial later exact into a current official cell.
A later official monthly or completed-program revision will belong in a revision of a cell; it will not change the method. Those labelled official totals are the spine of the list, and they will still be the spine after a later official manufacturer table has restated a delivery figure in a later month.
