Airbus Steadies Production Amid Supply Chain Challenges

Airbus delivered 78 aircraft in October 2025, bringing its total deliveries for the year to 585. The European manufacturer is on track to meet its production goals for 2025, with a focus on delivering single-aisle and widebody jets. Despite supply chain challenges, Airbus secured 112 gross orders in October, following a significant decrease in September. The company expects to achieve an adjusted EBIT of €7 billion and free cash flow before customer financing of €4.5 billion for 2025. According to Airbus’ latest report on orders and deliveries, the planemaker has delivered a total of 585 aircraft to 85 customers so far in 2025. This takes in both narrowbody and widebody aircraft, including 522 single-aisle jets from the A220 and A320 families, as well as 63 widebody jets, which comprised 23 A330s and 40 A350s. The company is targeting around 820 commercial aircraft deliveries for the year. This leaves about 235 aircraft to be handed over in the final two months of 2025. In contrast, during September 2025 Airbus only secured 10 gross orders, a significant decrease from the 99 orders recorded in August 2025. Airbus’ total gross orders so far in 2025 have reached 722 aircraft, which includes 521 single-aisle jets plus 111 A350 and 90 A330 widebody jets. During the year, Airbus has had 97 aircraft orders canceled, leaving 625 net orders from the original 722 gross orders.
