Planemaker Sees Strongest First-Half Performance Since 2019
Airbus has released its latest commercial aircraft order and delivery figures, providing a snapshot of its progress towards this year’s delivery target. With 351 aircraft delivered to 77 customers in the first six months, the company appears to have hit its stride after delays caused by engine supplies and complications moving aircraft to China. Airbus is looking to achieve around 870 deliveries across the year, and with six months remaining, the company will need to deliver at least 86 planes a month to meet its target. According to Reuters, the first six months of 2026 represent Airbus’ strongest first-half performance since 2019. This update was first reported by AeroTime.
