European Manufacturer Seeks Strong Finish to Year
Airbus is aiming to deliver 259 commercial aircraft in the final two months of 2026 to reach its annual target of around 870 units. The company delivered 74 aircraft in October, bringing the year’s total to 621. To meet its goal, Airbus will need to deliver around 124/125 aircraft per month, a challenging task given its highest monthly total this year was 89. Notable deliveries in October included KLM’s first A350 and orders from Aviation Capital Group and Avolon. The company’s efforts to meet its target were reported by AeroTime.
