Airbus 2025 delivery target in doubt despite October wins

Airbus Delivery Performance in 2025

Airbus delivered 78 aircraft in October 2025, bringing the total for the year to 585. This progress keeps the manufacturer on course to meet its production goals, but challenges remain as 235 aircraft still need to be delivered by the end of the year to hit the target of 820 jets.

Monthly Delivery Increase

October deliveries rose to 78 aircraft supplied to 36 customers, up from 73 aircraft delivered to 41 customers in September 2025. The year-to-date deliveries total 585 aircraft to 85 customers, reflecting steady progress.

Aircraft Types Delivered

522 single-aisle jets from the A220 and A320 families
63 widebody jets, including 23 A330s and 40 A350s

Order Intake in 2025

In October 2025, Airbus secured 112 gross orders, a strong recovery after only 10 orders were confirmed in September. This follows 99 orders recorded in August. So far in 2025, Airbus has received 722 gross orders:

521 single-aisle jets
111 A350 widebody jets
90 A330 widebody jets

Challenges Ahead

The remaining delivery target faces hurdles, mainly due to ongoing global supply chain issues such as engine shortages.

Airbus’ latest report states delivery numbers include "522 single-aisle jets from the A220 and A320 families, as well as 63 widebody jets."

Despite steady monthly increases and solid order intake, reaching 820 aircraft deliveries in 2025 remains uncertain.

Author’s Summary

Airbus shows strong delivery growth and order intake in 2025, but supply chain obstacles cast doubt on meeting its ambitious 820-aircraft delivery target this year.
