Airbus delivered 351 aircraft in the first half of the year, marking a 15% increase from the 306 deliveries recorded in the same period of 2025. The European planemaker handed over 89 jets in June, contributing to its strongest first-half performance since 2019. This acceleration in deliveries is attributed to a temporary stabilization of logistical and commercial factors, including catching up on delayed deliveries to the Chinese market and an easing of engine supply disruptions.
Despite this strong performance, Airbus has set an internal target to exceed 900 aircraft deliveries for the full year, while maintaining its official guidance at 870 aircraft. Aircraft deliveries are a fundamental driver of revenue and cash generation for the aerospace and defense consortium.
